{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/0\/02\/Post-Private-Videos-on-YouTube-on-PC-or-Mac-Step-5-Version-2.jpg\/v4-460px-Post-Private-Videos-on-YouTube-on-PC-or-Mac-Step-5-Version-2.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/0\/02\/Post-Private-Videos-on-YouTube-on-PC-or-Mac-Step-5-Version-2.jpg\/aid10824977-v4-728px-Post-Private-Videos-on-YouTube-on-PC-or-Mac-Step-5-Version-2.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":348,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":551,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}

It's below the upload icon in the center of the screen. This drop-down menu allows you to select different privacy options for the video you are about to upload. By default, videos you upload are set to public.
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/5\/5d\/Post-Private-Videos-on-YouTube-on-PC-or-Mac-Step-6-Version-2.jpg\/v4-460px-Post-Private-Videos-on-YouTube-on-PC-or-Mac-Step-6-Version-2.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/5\/5d\/Post-Private-Videos-on-YouTube-on-PC-or-Mac-Step-6-Version-2.jpg\/aid10824977-v4-728px-Post-Private-Videos-on-YouTube-on-PC-or-Mac-Step-6-Version-2.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":344,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":544,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}

Question

How do I know if someone watched my private videos? I have several private videos only friends and family can watch.

Community Answer

You will know if you see any views on the video that you know weren't by you, if you didn't watch the video yourself many times. Ask your friends and family members if they watched it.

Question

Why did a kids' show theme song video change to private? There was no personal info whatsoever, not even the uploader/channel.

Community Answer

It might have been privated because of copyright violations.

Question

Are there entire channels with nothing but private videos?

Community Answer

Yes, but unless their videos were saved to a playlist which identified their uploader, the channel's video section will simply appear empty to anyone who isn't allowed to watch them.
