[Tutorial] How to download private YouTube video

How to watch private YouTube videos

YouTube has been providing the option of setting users’ videos on private for years now. What does that mean? Basically, after setting the video status on private no one but only you and the people you choose can watch it. Fortunately (or unfortunately) you can still download and view the videos that have been set on private. You can do that by using our dedicated tool that fetches the video from the Google servers and sends it straight to the user. All you have to do is to provide the link to the private video you would like to watch. Then simply wait for the script to finish its work!

If you want to know more about difference between private, unlisted and public YouTube videos, read the article:

Make sure you are providing a valid link to the Youtube video. We do not support Dailymotion nor any other video hosting service except YouTube!

Please keep in mind that fetching the private video from YouTube may fail for some reason, as this is not the official Google service. Private videos on YouTube are possible to download only after approval of the video uploader. Private videos are not meant to be watched by the person not chosen by the original author.

@413451298 i don't think so, you can only download it so you wont ever find out what the title/rating of the video was

Is there a desktop app for this? Or can I watch private videos directly in the browser?
