Speedrun private video rules?

I see on the rules for Minecraft Java Edition, it says the video cannot be private. However, on the bedrock rules, it doesn’t say anything about that. If I do a bedrock run, can it be a private video? I do not have a channel on YouTube, Twitch, etc, and so I would not be able to make my run public.

If you don’t have an account on those how you plan to upload your video ?

Probably I’ll use google drive.

I mean if it is accessible when people want to see it (I mean that after verification people that want to watch it,can watch it ), I don’t see any problems but I suggest to wait for the response of a mod .

No, if a video is private only you can see it. A verifier can't verify a run they can't even view.

Just stream on twitch or make a yt it's soooo ez to make an account for both

of course not, that applies to every game as verifiers/mod cant watch that if the run is actually legitimate and cant retime it as well. I can just submit a 15 min rsg any% private video and get it verified.... see it doesn't make sense

I believe it would have to be visible to everyone on speedrun.com so unlisted or public. Also highly suggest making a youtube channel to upload speedruns on, It is the easiest for you, the mods, and everyone else.

I would probably recommend making a yt channel and making your runs unlisted, so only the mods who have the link can view the video, if you don't want to publish public runs.

On drive you can make it so anyone with a link can view the video

That is an unlisted video @MiiSports . An unlisted video and a private video are 2 completely different things.

private videos you have to physically give each individual person access, unlisted videos anyone with the link can see the video

You can upload an unlisted video

I see. Thank you all for your help! I guess I was confusing a private video with an unlisted one. Thanks!!
