Will this effect my views ??

Hi All

I have a music video I have up on youtube set to unlisted at the moment as our single isn't ready for release. I have put it up for other band members to view ant to show bloggers who may be interested in supporting us.

My question is that when i switch it to public will youtube distribute it just as if it was uploaded straight away . I have around 20 personal views on it at the moment but when it goes public obviously hoping for many more.

If I remember correctly, if you switch a video from unlisted-to public it's not going to show up in the sub boxes correctly sadly.

I may be wrong, but as of a few months ago this is how it worked.

I was wondering the same thing, but I did some research and it said that only the time it is uploaded is when it notifies people IF it's listed public. I don't think it'll notify people once you publicize it from being unlisted.

OK thanks guys

As far as I know, the first time you make it public is when it's considered as a proper release. So, if it has never been public before then it'll go out to sub boxes. If it has been public then made unlisted, then made public again, it won't.

As long that it was never set to public at all even if you have it on unlisted, it should seem like a brand new video when you make it public.

I had a video that was unlisted for quite some time (some views on it too coz I left the link to it somewhere) and I finally made it public. It was definitely shown in the subscription tab (when I check from my dummy account that I use to check uploads) and it would start with 0 minutes as well on your page rather than the time it was unlisted.

Then from the analytics, there were people who got there from app notification and subscription page after it was public, so I believe it would still be distributed like usual.

OK Thanks.

I decided to play safe and jst upload an alternative video. Seems to have done well.

But I put up a video that was private for an hour or so then got 100 some views the instant it was public.

I Make My video private first before I set it to public so that I could put cards and transcribe my video and set thumbnails before people could see it and it worked I have better views now than before. I prefer setting it to public instead of unlisted.
