How do I Stream Privately to YouTube?

A Private YouTube stream is a great way to stream to specific people! Private YouTube streams are easy to set up and allow you to share the stream via email with your viewers.
All viewers will need a YouTube account to view a private stream.

Here's how:

  1. Create a broadcast in StreamYard, choose your YouTube destination, and set the privacy to Private.
