YouTube : Everyone knows how to watch videos on YouTube, but did you know that you can also set the privacy of your favorite videos by adding them to a playlist? This means, you can choose whether your playlist is visible only to you, accessible to everyone, or only accessible by those who receive the link. If you have created a playlist and now want to change its settings, it is very easy. Let’s know in simple terms, how to make YouTube playlist private, public or unlisted.
Difference between private, public and unlisted
Public playlist: Anyone can see it. The public option is useful if you have videos in your playlist that you want to share with friends or others.
Private Playlist: Visible only to you. Other people can’t find it by searching your playlist or visiting your channel.
Unlisted Playlist: This is not usually visible on YouTube, but anyone with a playlist link can see it. So, it is not completely private.
