Visit https://unlistedvideos. com. Unlisted Videos is a massive archive of unlisted YouTube videos, including many from 2016 and earlier. You can search or browse through more than 600,000 unlisted YouTube videos on this site. Browse people’s YouTube playlists. People often add their unlisted videos to their own playlists, which makes them easier to find even though they aren’t searchable in YouTube or through Google. You can see a person’s public playlists by clicking their name in YouTube and selecting the Playlists tab.

The owner of the video can switch it back to unlisted (or make it public) to restore others’ access to the video. But if the owner hasn’t done that, the video will remain private forever (or until they do change it).

Log in to YouTube Studio. Click the Content tab. Click the funnel icon at the top of the video list and select Visibility. Choose Unlisted as the visibility type. Since any unlisted videos you uploaded before 2017 were marked as private in July 2021, you can find those by selecting Private from the visibility folder instead.
