Public: Anyone can find and watch the video on YouTube. It can play on Strimm when embedding is enabled.
Private: Viewing is restricted to the owner and specifically invited users, to watch on YouTube.com only. This setting is unsuitable for broadcasting to Strimm viewers.
Unlisted: Anyone with the link can watch without a Google account. The video normally stays out of search results and your channel’s Videos tab, but its link can be shared.
Required settings for Unlisted videos
Visibility: In YouTube Studio → Content, set the video to Unlisted and save.
Allow embedding: Open the video’s Details → Show more, enable Allow embedding, and save.
Video link: Copy the video’s share link and use it when adding the video to Strimm. YouTube unlisted videos do not require a separate privacy hash.
Playback restrictions: Age restrictions and other YouTube restrictions can prevent embedded playback even when the video is unlisted.
Test playback: Open your Strimm channel in a private/incognito browser window to confirm the video plays while signed out of YouTube.
