YouTube is a useful service, it allows you to share your videos to the world. However, sometimes you only want to share your video with your friends. Luckily, YouTube allows you to make your videos private so that only people that you approve can see it, but the way to access private videos is different than the way to access public videos. Don't worry though, this wikiHow teaches you how to view the YouTube videos you’ve set to private on Android.
Steps
-
1Open YouTube on your Android. It’s the red rectangle icon with a white triangle inside. You’ll usually find it in the app drawer.
- If you want to view someone else’s private video, you’ll need them to send you the URL. Once you receive the URL, tap it to view the video.
