You can share private videos on YouTube with any email address.
- While most YouTube videos you watch are public, you can easily share a private YouTube video with anyone.
- There are three privacy levels on YouTube: Public, Unlisted, or Private. Unlisted videos are hidden but anyone with the link can watch them, while even the link won't work if the video is set to Private - you'll need explicit permission.
- You'll need to share a private video with specific users using their email address to give them permission.
- To share a private video, edit it in YouTube Studio, and then choose "Share privately" from the list of other features.

When you publish a video to YouTube, most of the time you'll probably want to mark it as Public, so anyone can see it. But you can also choose to make a video Unlisted, so you need to know the URL to find it, or Private, so only you can see it.
But even Private videos can be shared - it's just as little harder to do.
