How to View Unlisted Videos on YouTube

What Are Unlisted Videos on YouTube and How Do They Work?

Unlisted videos on YouTube are videos that are not publicly visible but can still be shared with specific individuals or groups. In other words, unlisted videos won't appear to others who visit the  "Videos" tab of your channel page. We can take it as a a middle ground between private videos (only accessible to the uploader) and public videos (can be viewed by anyone).

When you upload a video to YouTube, you have the option to make it public, private, or unlisted. If you choose to make it unlisted, YouTube will generate a unique link that you can share with others. People who have the link can then watch the video, but it won't show up in YouTube's search results or on the uploader's channel.

While unlisted videos offer a level of privacy, they can still be difficult to find if you don't have the link. Here are some tips on how to discover unlisted videos on YouTube.
