I have selected unlisted for many of my You Tube videos but they still show up on the playlist and anyone can click on them and view them. Why? You repeat the guidance on here that unlisted means they don't appear and only those who have the URL can view them but this is obviously not the case. Am I doing something wong?

Hi,

If a video is saved in a playlist, you should remove it from there so that no one can directly access the video. To remove a video, go to the playlist where it is saved and hover over the video. Then click the cross icon.

Note: You must be the creator of that playlist to be able to remove your videos.

I have done that but if anyone clicks on the videos tab they will be able to see the unlisted videos and view them.. This contradicts the description of the unlisted option that You Tube provides. They say that people will only be able to view the videos if I share the URL with them but this is clearly not true. So I do not understand why unlisted permits a public view. I assume there is no way around this? The private option is too restrictive for my needs and so I am going to have to delete my videos and share with my clients the old fashioned way via email attachment. However, many thanks for taking the time to respond.

Do you see the videos in that playlist even if you are not logged in to your YouTube account? It seems to me that unlisted videos are still visible if you are logged in, but are not be visible to other persons.

YouTube video download issue

I always downloaded videos from YouTube without any problem. Now I have a strange issue. For months, every time when I tried to download to my laptop I get this message: "No video to download on this page". I thought YouTube was blocking people from downloading its videos.

However, when I tried to download the same video from my desktop PC there was no problem. What is the reason of this?
