How To Create An Unlisted YouTube Video
1. Go to your YouTube channel and add a video (If you have a Gmail account, you automatically have a YouTube account attached to it)
- Begin by making sure you are logged in to your YouTube channel. Once you’re on your YouTube homepage, click the add video button in the upper-right corner. (It looks like a little video camera.)
- From the drop-down button that appears, choose “Upload video.”
2. Choose “unlisted” in your YouTube video settings
- Now, it’s time for the important part: selecting your video’s YouTube privacy settings!
- To do so, click on the word “Public.” Then, on the drop-down menu that appears, choose the word “Unlisted.”
3. Upload your YouTube video
- Upload your video where the screen says “Select files to upload.”
- If you missed step two, and uploaded your video first, you can still ensure your video is unlisted before publishing.
- Once you begin uploading your video, you’ll see a screen that looks like the image shown here. On the right side, you’ll find a menu that starts with the word “Public.”
4. Publish your video to YouTube
- Making sure that the drop-down menu says “Unlisted,” click the “Done” button in the upper-right corner of the video.
5. Share your video’s link
- As soon as you’ve published your video, a page that looks like this will appear.
- Simply copy the URL provided and share it with anyone you’d like to see your video.
