Before sharing your video, make sure to set up your permissions to specify who can see specific videos.

A view link allows anyone with the link to view, but not edit, a presentation.

Spotify

See → Share music from Spotify

The share feature will share a playlist even if you’ve made it secret. The recipient can view, play, and follow it, and they can share with others who can also view, play, follow, and share it. If you’ve set the playlist to be collaborative, any recipient can also edit the playlist.
