“This video is private”: All information about the YouTube message
If you want to open a YouTube video and the message “This video is private” appears instead, it is not visible on YouTube. The creator has decided not to make the video public.
- This means that most users are unable to view, comment on, share or download the video. They will only receive the message Video not available. This video is private
- This is possible via the privacy settings in YouTube Studio. The Private setting allows uploaders to specify exactly who can see the video.
- After uploading, they enter the e-mail addresses of the desired people, which must match the corresponding YouTube account, and send them an invitation link. They can then use the link to access the video
- If you belong to this group of people, you should register on YouTube or provide your e-mail address to the creator. This is the only way you can watch the private YouTube video
- Important: Videos of people under the age of 18 are automatically made private for security reasons.
