What is an unlisted video?
An unlisted video is a different type of private video. **Unlisted** means that only people who know the link to the video can view it (such as friends or family to whom you send the link). An unlisted video will not appear in any of YouTube's public spaces (such as //search results, your channel, or the Browse page//). An unlisted video is different to a private video in these ways:
 * You don't need a YouTube account to watch the video (you can see an unlisted video if someone sends you the video's link)
 * There's no 25 person sharing limit

Even though your video will not appear in any of YouTube's public spaces, links to the video //could// still appear elsewhere on the web if anyone who knows the video's URL shares it. It is therefore up to you to maintain the privacy of your video and the unlisted URL. **You can further restrict the video at any time by returning to your account and marking the video as Private**.

How do I create an unlisted video?
You can choose to make any of your uploads an unlisted video in your YouTube Account settings. Here’s how:
 * 1) Sign into your YouTube Account
 * 2) Click on your **account name** located in the top right of any page. Click on **My Videos** from the expanded menu.
 * 3) Choose the video you want to edit and click the **Edit** button below the video thumbnail.
 * 4) Scroll down to the **Broadcasting and Sharing Options** and find the **Privacy** section.
 * 5) You'll see the option to make the video Public, **Unlisted**, or Private.
 * 6) Select **Unlisted**. Make sure to click the **Save Changes** button at the bottom of the page.

How do I share an unlisted video?
Once you’ve set your video as unlisted in your Account settings, you’re ready to share your video. In order to share your video, just send the video’s URL to the people with whom you’d like to have access to the video. They’ll then be able to view the video.

Who can access my unlisted video?
Initially, only the people with whom you share your unlisted video's URL will have access to the video. That said, if one of your contacts then shares the unlisted video URL on a blog / public website or with people they know, the video will be available and accessible to those people (and the people who they choose to share with) as well. Its therefore important to communicate to your contacts that you wish to maintain //limited access// to your unlisted video and that you only share the video with people you trust.
