How To Upload An Unlisted Audition Video To YouTube

“Unlisted” means that only people who have the link to the video can view it (such as the KW Glee team or family and friends to whom you send the link). An unlisted video will not appear in any of YouTube’s public spaces (such as search results, your channel, or the Browse page). An unlisted video is different than a private video. You can choose to make any of your uploads an unlisted video in your YouTube Account settings.

To upload a new video:

1. Sign into or create your YouTube Account
2. Go to your My Channel page
3. If you need to upload a video, click on create a video or post (the camcorder icon in the upper right banner), then upload video.
4. Change the setting to upload the video as an “Unlisted Video” and select the video from your desktop which you’d like to make an “Unlisted Video”. Click Done to confirm.
5. Copy video URL link and include it when you submit your audition form

To edit a video you’ve already uploaded:

1. Go to the Video Manager and click on the video.
2. Go to Edit. Under Basic Information, you’ll see the option to mark your video as “unlisted,” “public,” or “private.” 3. Select “Unlisted Video”.
4. Don’t forget to click the Save Changes button.
5. Copy the video URL link found to the right of the video in Video Manager (under “video information”), and include this when you submit your audition form.

Please note that we cannot accept video auditions unless they are submitted as an “Unlisted Video” on YouTube. Videos are often large file sizes that cannot be emailed. This way your audition is hosted on the YouTube platform and we do not have to worry about not being able to open the file.
