Step 1. After opening the browser on your PC, visit the "Unlisted Videos" website. Use the top search bar to find the unlisted videos you are looking for.

Step 2. You can click the "All Videos" or "Random Video" option to search for videos of a particular user.

How to Find Private YouTube Videos

Unlike unlisted videos, private videos can be accessed only by those whom the creator allows. Otherwise, these won't appear in the Google and YouTube search results. Even the old unlisted videos before 2017 have been set to private by YouTube due to updated rules. However, you can effortlessly watch your private YouTube videos on your channel. Here is how to find your own YouTube videos:

Step 1. Once you have opened YouTube on your browser, sign in to your account. Now, tap your profile picture and "YouTube Studio."

Step 2. Press the "Content" tab from the left sidebar and tap the three lines "Filter" icon. Choose "Visibility," checkmark "Private," and hit "Apply."

Step 3. All your private videos are on the list. You can expand the "Private" menu to "Share Privately" through emails. You can't find others' private videos without getting a link from them.
