# Video Visibility Levels

**Video Visibility Levels** are the access control settings available in [[grypstube]] to determine who can view uploaded content. These settings can be edited after publication, with the exception of scheduled releases.

## Visibility Tiers

| Level | Access | Visibility in Overviews/Channels |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Public** | Everyone | Visible |
| **Unlisted** | Anyone with the direct URL | Hidden |
| **Private** | Account owner only (after login) | Hidden |
| **Internal** | Any GrypsTube account holder (after login) | Hidden (Not recommended) |

## Copyright Compliance Workflow
To protect copyright and intellectual property, the [[universitatsrechenzentrum-urz]] recommends a specific combination of visibility and hosting:
1. Set the video to **Unlisted**.
2. Embed the video within a protected platform, such as [[moodle]], where access is restricted to authorized students or staff.

This prevents the content from being indexed or discovered by the general public while allowing secure delivery to a specific target group.
