Contact the Owner
Ask the creator to add your correct Google account to the allowed viewer list for that private video.
Confirm Permission
After approval, refresh the page or reopen the link while signed in to the approved account.
Check Browser State
Clear conflicting sessions, disable restrictive extensions, or try a private window with the approved login.

View With Approval
Once permission is active, watch the video normally while respecting the creator’s intended privacy settings.
