You may want to share private youtube videos with international friends or your YouTube Partner (to verify the video is good before it goes live) or maintain privacy with your long-distance family members. By allowing trusted individuals to view your private videos, you increase the level of security for your content.
So, in this post, let me explain the step-by-step process of how to share a private video on YouTube.
Methods for Making a Private YouTube Video Available to Others
How to share private youtube videos follow the instructions below:-
Start by visiting your YouTube profile.
Go to your YouTube account and make sure you’re logged in. Click the Video Upload button on your browser’s toolbar to get started.
An upload video dialogue box will appear when you click the Upload Video button.
Step 2: Post your video on social media.
- When the video uploading process begins, you can select “Private” as the visibility option.
- To share privately, you’ll need to set the visibility to “Private” and then click the “SHARE PRIVATELY” button.
- Click the SHARE PRIVATELY button while keeping your eyes closed. A pop-up window will open.
- Enter the private email addresses of the people who will be watching your video here. It lets you enter the email addresses of the people you want to share with. Spaces are used to separate each valid email address.
Step 3: Directly Send a Private Video
To share a private video you’ve already uploaded, please refer to the instructions below.
- Click on Content in the left-sidebar of YouTube Studio to get started.
