I want to watch a YouTube video which is put on private. Tried messaging the uploader for permission to watch video put on private, but didn’t get any response. If you know a way I can access private YouTube videos, without getting permission, it would be much appreciated if you could please comment below and let me know. Thanks for reading this
 
Not possible unless you have access to their account or an exploit.
If there video is unlisted, you can watch it with a link. Otherwise you're out of luck.
 
About a year ago, by accident, I stumbled upon an exploitative type of way to watch private videos if you had the video link.
I've only used it for that one video I was trying to find & meant to whiteknight it to YouTube support afterwards, but upon seeing if it works monthes later - they fixed it already.
Although I'm sure there'd still be a similar way to the method I used before, I'm not trying to break da system.

Using your imagination I'm sure it'd still be possible.
The method I found before was actually very cleverly simple to do and required next to no web-dev/programming skills.
 
As far as I am aware, there aren't any known public exploits for private video viewing. The couple of methods I have used were patched a few years ago. Sorry :/
 
if owner made the video private, then no one but him can see the video, unless he shared with you the video by adding your YT account email to the whitelist.

but on some cases, if the private video was public before, you may find some traces of it:

1. search the video ID on google images
2. if images found, search for similar content with "search google for image" this can lead to a duplicate of the original video
3. the best method is to search the video url https://www youtube. com/watch?v=xxxxx. in google cache by adding the cache:

you will be able to extract the title tags and description out of the cached page but not the video as it protected
 
It's not letting me link to Cyberars post but,
+1 on those 3 points & on finding traces of the video if it was public before.

The (patched)method I've used before involved using the embedded video URL found within the embed html tags, which was basically the same URL but with an embed param. Opening a browser with the embed URL would bypass the privacy security.
 
someone know a trick to bypass youtube private video to access it or to download it? it's not for something bad, i had an account time ago with a video i would like to recover, but i don't have that account and i need a something to download that video please
