How to Make YouTube Videos Private on Android


When you upload a video to YouTube, the site allows you to adjust its privacy settings so that only the intended audience can view the video, and remains invisible to the strangers.

You can make either one or multiple videos ‘Private’ depending upon the type of videos and your personal privacy preferences. While making multiple videos ‘Private’, you can check the checkboxes for each video and change their privacy settings in a single go.

To make things simpler, you do not necessarily have to use your laptop/desktop computer in order to change the privacy settings of your uploaded videos. You can also get the job done right from your Android smartphone.

Here’s how:

    ■Turn on your Android smartphone.
    ■Tap the Menu icon to go the apps list.
