Home » Social Media » YouTube » How to Host a Private Live Stream on YouTube: 4 Steps
If you’re looking to host a live stream, YouTube is a great platform for it.
However, are you able to host a private or an unlisted live stream on YouTube?
The answer is yes—YouTube allows streamers to change the privacy settings of their live stream.
Streamers can do so before they go live on YouTube by changing their live stream’s “Visibility” setting.
However, the “Visibility” setting is hard to find.
Once you’re able to find the setting, you’ll be able to change the privacy setting of your live stream.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to host a private live stream on YouTube.
To host a private live stream on YouTube, you first need to click on the “Go live”.
Once you’re on your live streaming dashboard, click on the “Edit” button and change the “Visibility” setting from “Public” to “Private”.
After you’ve changed the “Visibility” setting to “Private”, you need to invite others by email.
You can do so by clicking on “Share privately” and adding other people’s emails.
Lastly, save your settings by clicking on the “Save button”.
When your video is live, your invitees will be notified via email to join it.
Below is a step-by-step guide (with screenshots) on how you can host a private live stream on YouTube:
Open YouTube > click on your profile picture > click on “Go live”.
Firstly, open YouTube on a desktop.
Then, click on your profile picture on the top navigation bar.
This will open up a menu with two options including “Upload video” and “Go live”.
The “Upload video” option allows you to upload a video to your YouTube channel.
On the other hand, the “Go live” option allows you to go live on YouTube.
Click on “Go live” to go to the YouTube Live Control Room.
Keep in mind that you’re only able to live stream on YouTube on a desktop.
If you’re looking to live stream on YouTube on a mobile device, you need to have at least 1k subscribers.
On the other hand, there is no requirement for you to live stream on the desktop version of YouTube.
Select your preferred time to live stream (“Right now” recommended).
After you’ve clicked on “Go live”, you’ll land on the YouTube Live Control Room.
On the YouTube Live Control Room, you’ll be given two options including “Right now” and “Later date”.
The “Right now” option allows you to live stream now, but you can review your settings before going live.
If you want to schedule your stream for a later time, you can select the “Later date” option.
For now, select the “Right now” option by clicking “Start”.
Select the type of stream (“Built-in software” recommended).
After you’ve selected the “Right now” option, you’ll have to choose between a couple of stream types.
The first stream type is “Built-in webcam” while the second stream type is “Streaming software”.
If you want to stream using your webcam and microphone , select the “Built-in webcam” option.
This option is also recommended for first-time creators as it is simpler.
However, if you want to live stream using a streaming software like OBS, select the “Streaming software” option.
To make things simpler, select the “Built-in” webcam option.
Move on to the next steps to learn how to change your live stream to a private one.
On your live streaming dashboard, click on the “Edit” button.
Once you’ve chosen when you want to go live and your preferred type of stream, you’ll land on your live streaming dashboard.
On your live streaming dashboard, you’ll see your video’s information (title, category, privacy, etc.).
You’ll also see your stream settings, analytics, and stream health.
On your video’s information, you’ll see an “Edit” button on the top right of it.
Click on the “Edit” button to edit your video’s information.
As your channel’s information contains your video’s privacy settings, you need to edit it.
After you’ve clicked on the “Edit” button, you’ll land on the “Details” tab where you can edit your video’s information.
On the “Details” tab, you’ll see your video’s title, description, visibility, and more.
Scroll down until you see the “Visibility” option.
Click on the “Visibility” option to open the visibility options.
The “Visibility” option allows you to change who can watch your live stream.
By default, the option is set to “Public”, which means that everyone will be able to watch your live stream on YouTube.
Proceed to the last step to learn how to private your live stream so that only selected people can watch it.
Select the “Private” option, then click on “Share Privately”.
There are three visibility options that you can choose from including “Private”, “Unlisted”, and “Public”.
The “Private” option allows you to invite a selected number of people via email to join your live stream.
If you select “Unlisted”, only people with the link to your live stream will be able to watch it.
Lastly, the “Public” option allows anyone on YouTube to watch your live stream.
Select the “Private” option to private your live stream.
Then, you’re required to invite others to your live stream.
To invite others to your live stream, click on “Share privately”.
Invite others to your live stream by entering their email addresses on the “Invitees” field > select “Notify via email” > click on “Done”.
After clicking on “Share privately”, you need to invite others to view your private video.
You can do so by entering their email addresses on the “Invitees” field.
Simply enter the email addresses of the people that you want to invite to your live stream and hit “Enter” on your keyboard.
If you’ve successfully entered an email, there’ll be an “x” icon next to it.
If you’ve mistyped an email, click on the “x” icon next to it to remove it.
After you’ve finished adding all the email addresses, click on the “Notify via email” checkbox.
This will allow YouTube to send an email to your invitees when you are live.
Lastly, click on “Done” to update your settings.
You’ve successfully learned how to host a private live stream on YouTube!
Due to the rising popularity of working from home and home-based learning, online meetings are more prevalent.
Going live on YouTube is a unique way to conduct an online meeting with your colleagues, classmates, etc.
But with dedicated video communication tools like Zoom and Microsoft Teams, people are starting to make the switch to them.
Although YouTube live is normally used for gaming, you can also use it to conduct video/web conferencing.

October is Cyber Security Awareness month! And we’re all aware by now of the multitude of scams, hacks, and hijacks plaguing an ever-more-online world. Private streaming is about not leaving yourself exposed. It can be as simple as creating private videos, but how do you know you’re getting quality security that blocks bad actors from accessing sensitive content?
Private streaming is a departure from some types of live streaming practice as its intent is not to accumulate as large an audience as possible, but rather to keep uninvited viewers out. In other words, it’s a video stream intended for a selected group of people and not the general public. Rather than following the logic of appealing to a mass audience, what distinguishes private streaming is how secure, reliable, and, well, private, your live streaming platform can be. Private streaming can include live streams of virtual events, personal streams to friends and family, and especially business content like internal company meetings. Necessary features for a private stream are completely dependent on its use, anywhere from a highly interactive ticketed event for a large audience, to a streamlined video meeting between a small group of people.
There are different ways to set a private stream, from password protection to supplying private links to viewers. The main concern, as we noted above, is to use an effective live streaming platform with adequate capabilities, tools and features to ensure secure private streaming. As we’ve pointed out before you’ll want a current platform with technology being regularly updated; hanging on to outdated platforms and software are a surefire way to make your streams vulnerable to snooping or break-ins.
The primary reason for private streaming is safety! By several estimates cybercrime is expected to have cost the world $6 trillion by the end of this year (2021). 2020 was also a banner year for cyberattacks, breaking records in sheer number of attacks as well as the amount of data lost in breaches. In this kind of environment, you can take security as a self-evident good, just like putting a lock on a door in real life. Beyond that, the requirements and criteria for using private streaming depend a lot on what you want to do.
There are numerous reasons to want private communication for either your business or organization or personal reasons. Even mundane “work conversations” between staff located in different physical locations deserve to be free from eavesdropping!
– Business: Business meetings, training sessions, working groups, governance meetings, and many other types of live meetings or conferencing related to your business or organization. Suffice it to say you want to have a high-quality live stream for real-time communication, but private streaming is also a must as there’s likely to be confidential information being discussed. You want to keep your business … YOUR business.
– Personal: While this could be outside the scope of an enterprise platform, for example, you still might want to livestream only for certain family members, friends, or other groups. Events falling in this category could be things like weddings, funerals, holiday gatherings, and other content targeted to a small group. This type of content can be very private or sensitive, so it stands to reason to restrict viewing access.
Not every virtual event is being broadcast on the open web! Many ticketed performances, trade conferences, enthusiast meetups, seminars, and other formerly-in-person events went virtual in 2020-21, and these are exactly the kind of cases that warrant private streaming. Just like in real life, you’ll want to make sure all the viewers on a livestream paid the asking price to see the event live in real-time so you’re hitting your expense and profit metrics.
Like ticketed events, these are streams for a reserved group of people: employees, fans of your brand or business, VIPs, etc. Examples of this could include classes, webinars for employees or subscribers, or other types of bonus content. It’s not “exclusive” if people other than the intended audience are able to watch it!
There are a few additional steps you need to take for private streaming, although for the most part, it’s nearly the same process as any live stream. The key to private streaming is having a platform that can fill your needs.
This is really the most basic form of security for private streaming. Not infallible, but the fact that we’re still using passwords means they’re still an effective first line of defense. Obviously, a password feature allows a broadcaster to set a password, and viewers will have to enter it to watch the stream. If the platform you’re using doesn’t come with password protection, it’s probably a bad sign.
Geographic and Referrer Restrictions
These kinds of features allow a broadcaster to restrict who can access their content. For example, commercial movie-streaming services might restrict certain content to US or EU users based on licensing. This is an example of geographic restrictions , which limit who can access an online video via the real-world location of their IP address. Some areas are “whitelisted” to view content, blocking hackers or unauthorized viewers residing in other countries.
Referrer restrictions places a limitation based on the website from which a user came to access your video content. Without getting too far into technical detail, this kind of tool is meant to prevent users from illegally embedding your stream on another site–it’s essentially an anti-piracy measure.
Speaking of “first line of defense”, paywalling exclusive content is a time-honored solution. Basically, to watch the content, users must pay for access. But keep in mind when money is being exchanged, secure payment is also extremely important. Your private streaming platform should use SSL encryption for accepting payment information. And as it goes, online payment systems have become ubiquitous in the modern day, so they’re now stronger than ever.
We pride ourselves on our advanced video platforms and products. Whichever one is best suited to your needs, we’ll ensure it’s a vehicle for high-quality private streaming and comes with best-in-class security and privacy features.
IBM Cloud Video provides three main packages: free, paid, and enterprise. It debuted as UStream more than a decade ago as technology to connect overseas military personnel with loved ones at home, so it has a unique built-in content delivery network (CDN) that’s well known and reliable.
Vimeo is one of the largest streaming platforms on the internet and offers a wide range of privacy and security settings. Premium plans especially support private streaming and video hosting.
JW Player is a technical ancestor of the YouTube player and is a user-friendly platform for live streaming and hosting. As it expanded in more recent years to support live streaming, it also incorporated private streaming features.
Brightcove is one of the oldest private streaming platforms on the market, and over its long lifespan has developed powerful privacy and security features. The downside: its custom, high-end plans are much stronger than more basic plans.
As you’re now aware if you followed along from the last section, Kaltura’s platform offers strong security features for private streaming across several of our products.
Where security and privacy are concerned, a range of authentication and authorization options are available on our platform, including single-sign-on (SSO) support. The Kaltura SaaS platform supports two-factor authentication and encrypts data at rest with AES-256 encryption.

The Kaltura platform additionally offers robust storage and hosting services operating from state-of-the-art data centers with high levels of stability, redundancy, and security.
Kaltura’s Virtual Town Halls and Live Events webcasting solution has the capacity for unlimited viewers but is also equipped for private streaming in the event of business video hosting, internal training and/or departmental meetings, or any other situation where sensitive content needs to be protected. It’s always a priority to keep your data, reputation, and staff safe! Click through the links for a deeper dive into our features.

Free Private Live Streaming

There are many reasons why live streamers like to have a private content delivery network for their video productions. In episode 15 of StreamGeeks Live, we talk about several ways to host free private Livestreams on the Internet. The first way to host a free private live stream is using your own server with the content delivery software we found called re-streamer. To keep things affordable we use a raspberry pi to host our live content delivery network to the cloud. This software takes an RTSP stream and convert it to an RTMP stream which we can send to YouTube Facebook or other content delivery networks.
But since we want to stream to be completely private we will use the I-frame future and in bed it on our word press or other HTML webpages. The nice thing about WordPress is that it has a built-in HTML editor and the ability to password protect certain pages. So once we have embedded our private live streaming I-frame into our word press website we can password protect it. We have an example on our website available at https://www.streamgeeks.us/private . Here you can use the password: “StreamGeeks” to gain access to our private live stream.
why live stream to a private network
There are many reasons for keeping content private on the Internet and one of the main reasons is monetization. When you want to set up a live stream with the ability to have pay-per-view or a subscription-based model you need to password protect your content with a pay wall or password. Other reasons to host your Livestreams privately include the ability to avoid copyright strikes often found on Facebook and YouTube.
