YouTube debuts new Recap feature. Here’s how to get your 2025 viewing insights

YouTube has officially launched its inaugural Recap feature.

While the video platform has offered users a music and video gaming recap similar to Spotify Wrapped for the past three years, it has now revamped the feature to include broader insights into an entire watch history over the past year.

“YouTube Recap uniquely highlights interests, deep dives, and moments you explored this year, based on your watch history,” the Google-owned company said Tuesday in a press release. “You’ll get a set of up to 12 different cards that spotlight your top channels, interests, and even the evolution of your viewing habits, or which personality type you fall into based on the videos you loved to watch!”

 

Here’s how to find your 2025 YouTube Recap

 

To locate your personalized YouTube Recap on the app or website, you must be signed in to your YouTube account. From there, tap on the “You” tab. Just below your profile details, you will find a banner button indicating that “Your Recap is here.”

If the banner is not there, you can access your Recap from a browser at youtube.com/Recap.

You must meet certain eligibility requirements to be included in the YouTube Recap. Children under the age of 13 (or below the age requirement in your country) are ineligible, as are supervised accounts.

It’s also important to note that if your watch history was paused or if you had auto-delete settings enabled, it will not count.

According to YouTube, the Recap feature has been highly requested among users. It goes beyond a simple rundown of the music you’ve listened to over the past year, providing a more comprehensive summary of your video viewing preferences. So whether you watched a lot of baking videos, unboxing reveals, or daily vlogs, the Recap will categorize you into one of at least 11 personality types.

For example, if you’ve watched a lot of content to help develop skills, you might earn the Skill Builder personality. Or if you’re drawn to videos that spread positivity, you’ll likely be labeled the Sunshiner.
