An unlisted video will not appear in any of YouTube's public spaces [such as search results, your channel, or the Browse page]. An unlisted video is different than a private video because you don't need a YouTube account to watch the video [all you need is the link] and there's no 50 person sharing limit.
Can unlisted YouTube videos be found?
Unlisted videos and playlists can be seen and shared by anyone with the link. Your unlisted videos won't appear in the Videos tab of your channel homepage. They won't show up in YouTube's search results unless someone adds your unlisted video to a public playlist. You can share an unlisted video's URL.
Is YouTube deleting unlisted videos?
YouTube updated its unlisted video links in 2017 to make them harder for uninvited watchers to find, and it's finally generating new links for older uploads. Unfortunately, that means existing links will be broken, which is why YouTube is turning all of that content to private.
What happened to unlisted videos on YouTube?
Unlisted videos that you uploaded before January 1, 2017 were automatically made Private. If you want your video to be Private, there's nothing you need to do. Private videos won't show in Public search results and viewers won't see them in the “Videos” tab on your channel homepage.
Does YouTube look at private videos for monetization?
What impact will this have on monetization? Videos locked as private are not eligible for monetization. Once an appeal is submitted and that video is found to no longer violate our policies, the video can resume monetization.

Update to YouTube Unlisted Links
Unlisted is a setting for videos that can be viewed and shared by anyone with the link to that particular video, but don't show up in search results or other tabs. In 2017, we rolled out a security update to the system that generates new YouTube Unlisted links. This update included security enhancements that make the links for your Unlisted videos even harder for someone to discover [if you haven't shared the link with them]. We’re now making changes to older Unlisted videos that were uploaded before that update took place.
As part of these changes, Unlisted videos uploaded before 2017 will be made Private starting on July 23, 2021. We are also giving creators the option to opt out of this security update and keep their videos in their current state if they prefer. If you have a video that is impacted by this change, we’ll notify you directly. You will need to take one of the following steps before July 23, 2021:
Do nothing. We’ll set any Unlisted videos uploaded before 2017 to “Private” starting July 23. As a reminder, Private videos can only be seen by you and the people you choose. Once these videos are made Private starting July 23, any link previously used to embed or share them as Unlisted will no longer work.
Opt out of this change. Fill out this form by July 23, 2021 to keep your Unlisted videos uploaded before 2017 in their current Unlisted state. If you treat your Unlisted videos like Public videos [e.g. they’re embedded on third party sites or shared on social media], we recommend you opt out of this change. If you choose to opt out, your existing links will continue working as they do today, but they won’t get the benefit of the security update.
Make your Unlisted video public. You can make your Unlisted videos uploaded before 2017 “Public”, and they will be visible to anyone using YouTube.
Reupload as a new Unlisted video. You can also reupload these older videos as Unlisted under the new system to benefit from the security update. However, data associated with the original upload, like views or comments, won’t transfer. Any embedded videos using the old link would also need to be updated to the new video URL.
We understand that this change may be challenging, so we’re giving you time to make adjustments to your videos before it takes effect on July 23, 2021. These videos are not new and therefore receive less traffic, which we hope will minimize disruption.
As a reminder, the Unlisted feature isn’t going anywhere. The option to upload new videos as Unlisted is still available. This update will affect only videos uploaded before January 1, 2017. We encourage YouTube creators to review their older Unlisted videos and choose the privacy setting that’s right for them.
