Unlisted Mean on YouTube:

Here the video is watched without having any youtube account. Because we only need a link to watch the video. This is different from the private video as it has a limit to sharing the link. The limit is about 50 members.

The Unlisted videos and private videos do not count on the number of views. Only public videos count the number of views. As this is not a public video it does not count the number of views. These don’t have an effect on the recognition of the channel. Unlisted videos are not monetized only public videos are monetized. Unlisted videos don’t have a premiere.

Private Video:

Private means only those you invite to view the video can view it (they should have their own Youtube accounts and the maximum number is 50 usernames). Your video will not come up under any search results or your channel list. It will not able to see for the person who is not invited.

Public Video:

Public videos are seen by everyone on YouTube. They will even be shared with anyone using YouTube. The videos are seen when a person uploads a video on his or her youtube channel. There are so many millions of videos on YouTube to watch. They can download videos and watch them offline even.
