Generally, YouTube video content is divided into three main types, unlisted YouTube videos, YouTube private videos, YouTube public videos. These three types concern with the sharing status of your video content as unlisted specifies views with a link, private specifies the selected audience meanwhile public is sharing with all the viewers. User does nothing and video becomes Private. User then changes that video back to Unlisted. So what will the result be (of the following 3 options)? A) The user will not be able to change the video back to Unlisted. B) The user will be able to change the video back to Unlisted, and it will have a brand new more secure URL generated.

What I found is when I change a video from unlisted to public, and check my subscriptions from another YouTube account where I'm subscribed to the account in question, the previously unlisted and now public video does not show as a new upload.
My question: is there a way to force YouTube to show a previously uploaded but unlisted video as a recent upload without deleting and re-uploading the video?
Thank you,
Daniel
Background
YouTube has three main privacy options:
- Public – Videos that will appear in the search results and the video uploader’s channel.
- Private – Videos that won’t appear in the search results nor the video uploader’s channel, that can only be watched by those given permission by the video uploader.
- Unlisted – Videos that won’t appear in the search results (except possibly in playlists) nor the video uploader’s channel, but can be watched by anyone who has a link to the video, or access to a webpage that embeds the video.
The unlisted feature was introduced in 2010, and is often used by major accounts (celebrities, musicians, big businesses etc) for videos such as: live performances, behind the scenes videos, hard to find Easter eggs etc.
Unlisted Videos (unlistedvideos.com)
Unlisted Videos is a website by the New Zealand based company, Statistical Consultants Ltd, that lets people submit, search, and watch unlisted YouTube videos. That is:
- Submit – You can submit the URL of an unlisted YouTube video along with the necessary descriptive content. Unlisted Videos checks to see if it is an unlisted YouTube video, and if it is (and the necessary info has been filled out), it is submitted to the website. Registration is not required for URL submission.
- Search – The submitted unlisted videos can be searched for via the website’s search form. Clicking on YouTube channel names and keyword tags, also takes you to a set of search results.
- Watch – Each of the submitted unlisted videos has its own webpage on the Unlisted Videos website. These webpages will either have that video embedded or a link to the video on YouTube (if embedding isn’t permitted). The video webpages will also have info such as, the video title and description, clickable keyword tags, date of upload (to YouTube), date of submission (to Unlisted Videos), a clickable YouTube account user name (i.e. the username of the YouTube video publisher, that upon clicking will take the user to a list of all videos on Unlisted Videos from that user).
Find An Unlisted Youtube Video
Unlisted Videos have a set of rules and guidelines which are aimed at preventing copyright infringements and privacy breaches. In most cases, the unlisted videos of celebrities, musicians, big businesses, universities etc, are permitted; but the unlisted videos of the average person aren’t.
