sidebar.<\/p>\n<p>So, for instance, if you want to share a YouTube video before publishing, for instance, to get everything approved with a content manager, then it makes sense to make the video unlisted.<\/p>\n<p>Also, if you want to upload the video fast to YouTube but you want to edit the YouTube video title, and description later then it is a great idea to upload the video as unlisted.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_unlist_a_YouTube_video\"><\/span>How to unlist a YouTube video?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>So as we mentioned,
