How to Make a Video Public on YouTube
One of my favorite things about YouTube is the ability to share my videos with the world. Whether it’s a funny cat video or a tutorial on how to fix a leaky faucet, I love being able to connect with others through my videos. But what if you don’t want to share your video with the world? What if you just want to share it with a few friends or family members? That’s where making your video public comes in.
Making your video public is a simple process, but it’s important to understand what it means before you do it. When you make your video public, it means that anyone on the internet can watch it. This includes people you don’t know. So, if you’re not comfortable with the idea of your video being seen by strangers, you shouldn’t make it public.
Privacy Settings
Before you make your video public, you should review your privacy settings. You can do this by clicking on the “Privacy” tab on the video’s settings page. Here, you can choose who can watch your video. You can choose to make it public, unlisted, or private.
- Public: Anyone on the internet can watch your video.
- Unlisted: Only people with the link to your video can watch it.
- Private: Only you and the people you invite can watch your video.
If you’re not sure which privacy setting to choose, I recommend choosing “unlisted.” This way, you can share your video with friends and family without having to worry about it being seen by strangers.
Making Your Video Public
Once you’ve reviewed your privacy settings, you can make your video public. To do this, simply click on the “Publish” button on the video’s settings page. Once you click on the “Publish” button, your video will be visible to anyone on the internet.
Here are some additional tips for making your video public:
- Use a descriptive title and description. This will help people find your video and understand what it’s about.
- Use tags. Tags help people find your video when they’re searching for videos on YouTube.
- Promote your video. Share your video on social media and other websites. This will help more people find and watch your video.
