YouTube is launching a new Roundup experience that lets you quickly review your most notable video habits over the past year. According to YouTube’s announcement, the Recap feature “uniquely highlights interests, insights, and moments based on your viewing history,” offering 12 cards that highlight top channels, interests, and how your tastes in videos have changed over time.
This appears to be similar to Spotify’s year-end wrapped experience, which other services like Apple Music and Amazon Music have also enjoyed in recent years. YouTube’s Recap feature will also provide users with “personality types” based on viewing habits, such as Adventurer, Skill Builder, and Creative Spirit — which appears to be the equivalent of Spotify’s listening personality types.
Recap is launching today for YouTube users in the US, and will launch globally this week. The feature is available on both mobile devices and desktop, and can be found on the YouTube homepage or by selecting the dedicated button under the “You” tab in the user menu.
Some statistics related to music listening and viewing, such as your top artists and songs, will also be included in Recap, though it is not replacing the existing Recap experience for YouTube Music that offers annual reviews of top artists, songs, genres, and podcasts. According to the YouTube support page, YouTube Music app users will still have “a separate YouTube Music recap available within that app”.
Video Recap Along with the launch, YouTube also shared some trend charts showing which topics, creators, podcasts, and songs have been most popular among US users this year. Some stats aren’t particularly surprising – MisterBeast remains top producer joe rogan experience For example, podcasts hold the number one spot in the ranking – but it is interesting to see that kpop demon hunter The soundtrack was less popular in the shorts than its dominance on the general top songs chart.
