Kindly add a new feature to asciinema.org allowing users to change a recording's visibility.

👍
IMHO instead of asking the user, a -p switch would be sufficient.
I would like to extend the wishlist to a -c switch to copy a casts url to clipboard and an -o to immediately open the cast in a browser.

I plan to add -p and -o switches like you described. -c is already used for specifying the command to record (like in su -c ..., bash -c ... etc). We would need to find another one for copy-to-clipboard. Maybe -C.. ?

Since -c is already in use -C makes sense. Unless you would decide to remap -c to -e to execute a command. But that would break scripts already using asciinema (if such scripts even exist).
Maybe you could support long parameters as well? I.e. asciinema rec --copy --private --execute command

I was surprised to see that my recording was public the first time I used it. Prompting
"Do you want to upload it as a public video? [y/n]" would be nice.

I, for one, actually expected that. It's the same for githubs gist cli tool.
How about a .asciinema.rc where people can set their preferred standard privacy settings?

.asciinema.rc would be nice! I still like to see an explicit message at the prompt if it's going to be public.

There's ~/.asciinema/config file already. We can add support for record.private = true/false setting to it.
