PRIVATE -
Nobody can see the video unless logged into YOUR Gmail

UNLISTED -
Anyone with the link can watch the video.

PUBLIC -
Anyone who finds the video can watch the video.

SCHEDULE -
Upload, and have YouTube Automatically POST your video at a selected time, on a selected date.

PREMIERE -
Scheduling a time for your video to go “Live”. An interactive way to upload your video while chatting with your subscribers AND viewership.


-------------- REMEMBER --------------

Youtube takes time to process your uploaded video.
Even though it says complete, it will actually be PROCESSING it.
So, if you were to PUBLISH as soon as you upload - it could be in 360p, 720p OR HD.

A lot of creators make this mistake, they think that the video uploaded wrong, but it’s actually just processing!
