It seemed vital enough that I wanted to harness the Google beast to help others make the find as well.</p> @Marcel: The only way I figured out how about the URL change is from a comment on the aforelinked blog page.

Doubled checked the URL and noticed that “my_videos_edit2″ was changed to “my_videos_edit”. I corrected this and got the page redisplayed.

This time the video edit page was displayed in the original format. Under “Broadcast Options” it correctly shows the comment “Privacy options have been set” and a hyperlink to the right “choose options”. When this is selected it now displays my labels and when expanded the individual contacts.

All is good. Appreciate your resolution comments. One Q. remains … how’d you figure to change my_videos_edit2 to my_videos_edit? :-)

Alas … I had hoped your instructions would solve my issue but it was not so. I’ve sent an email to YouTube but no answer to the issue.

I just get no contacts being displayed nor the labels. I’ve kept things simple and have 2 contacts added to the “Family” label which also have accepted my friend request.

But blow me down … when I go to the “Broadcasting and Sharing Options” when I select the radio button option for “Private (Viewable by up to 25 people)” nothing happens; no list; no contacts.

This is so frustrating … and I’m an IT dude myself … so heaven help just ordinary folks trying to do this task.

Everytime I go to YouTube … it just feels so “non-intuitive”.

I guess from the research I’ve done so far … the private option thing hasn’t been such huge success.

Any other suggestions to try would be appreciated.

Cheers Marcel
