To keep your uploaded video unsearchable by people so that random people cannot view your video(s), you have to select the privacy mode from the drop-down menu on the upload screen to be 'Unlisted'.

If granted, an extension will be only granted only by the time period stated on the documentation; that is, if the illness medical certificate was for one day, an extension will be granted for one day only.
