Both the playlists created and the videos can have three levels of visibility on YouTube, we deepen them so that you always know which one to choose:

Private, this is the simplest option of all, where the playlist will only be available to you who created the playlist. The playlist will not appear in any user search.

Not listed, is an intermediate option, in which the playlist will only be visible to those who have its link, so you will have to provide the link of the playlist you have created to those who are interested.
