YouTube Livestream – How to Host a Private or Unlisted Stream

privacyyoutubeyoutube-live

I want to setup a private livestream for my classmates from university. I don't want the stream to be publicly available online, and Twitch doesn't have an option for private streams.

Is it possible to set up a private or unlisted stream on YouTube?
