The video will not appear on your channel, in Groups, search results, playlists etc..

1. Click the Account link located (at the top-right of any page ).
2. Then click the Uploaded Videos link. Choose the video you want to edit and click the "Edit" button below the video thumbnail.
3. Under the "Broadcasting and Sharing Options" section (on the left-hand side of the page towards the bottom) you’ll see "Privacy" options. Click the little black arrow / triangle to expand and see all your privacy options.
   
4. You’ll see the option to make the video public or private. (If you make your video private then only 25 other users will be able to view the video)
