SETTING UP YOUR OWN YOUTUBE CHANNEL (using SU Google account information)
You need a Google Account to sign into YouTube. A Google Account gives you access to all Google products (e.g. Gmail, Google Groups, Picasa, Web History, YouTube, and more).
(If you plan to use your YouTube channel with your Bb course, it’s important that you associate that YouTube account and channel with your SU Gmail account. Following are steps for setting up your own YouTube account using your Shenandoah University Gmail information, and setting up a ‘channel’ in YouTube for your videos.)
Log into your Google account using your Shenandoah University email credentials.
Open YouTube http://www.youtube.com .
Click the SIGN IN button upper right.
Fill in your SU Gmail credentials, and click SIGN IN.

Video privacy settings
Change your video’s privacy settings to make it public, unlisted, or private YouTube Video Privacy Settings
Learn who can see your uploaded videos. For more info, visit the YouTube Help Center: http://goo.gl/OJsvY
When you upload a video (from outside your Blackboard course, for instance), by default it’s set as a “Public” video, which means that anybody can view it. You can easily change the privacy settings while you’re uploading the video in the “Privacy Settings” section. Or, if you’ve already uploaded the video, you can change the privacy settings by following the steps below:
1. Visit your Video Manager. 2. Find the video you’d like to change, then click the Edit button. 3. In the “Privacy Settings” drop-down menu, select Public, Unlisted, or, Private. 4. Click Save changes.
Private videos
A private video can only be seen by you and the users you select. The video won’t appear on your channel or search results and will be invisible to other users.
Unlisted videos
Making a video unlisted means that only people who have the link to the video can view it. To share an unlisted video, just share the link with the people who you’d like to have access to it, and they’ll then be able to see it. Unlike private videos, the people you share the video with do not need to have a Google account to see the video, and they can share with more people simply by forwarding the link to them.
Unlisted videos won’t appear in any of YouTube's public spaces, like your channel page or search results.
Anyone who knows the video’s link can place the video in a playlist, even a public playlist. This could make the video visible on other parts of YouTube, including the homepage.
Your video could appear elsewhere on the web if you or anyone who you shared the video with shares it more broadly. For example, if somebody with whom you share the video goes on to share the link through an email or posts it on a blog, then all the people who access that link will be able to view the video.
