Can i embed unlisted videos

For example, player. Embed the video via API in a hidden div. Use onPlayerStateChange event to check if the video player is currently playing the video, use the API to pause the video at the first second. If the state changed to "playing" then send an AJAX request to a server side script to revert the the video's privacy status to be private, once you get a confirmation message display the video and use the API to play it.
