JAKARTA YouTube has launched an annual video summary feature called Recap. With this feature, users can see their viewing history over the past year.

YouTube Recap is something new because usually we only get the annual metric of listening to music on YouTube Music. However, now we can find out what YouTubers or shows we've seen for a year.

YouTube Recap format is more like Spotify Wrapped instead of YouTube Music's annual recap that was released last week. The recap in this video version will analyze the user's spectacle since the end of last year.

Analysis results will be displayed in 12 different cards. These cards highlight various important things such as favorite channels, most popular topics, and user viewing habits.

In addition, YouTube also highlights the user's interests, deep search results, and moments that users usually explore. According to YouTube, the line-up of cards in this Recap feature can provide a unique summary.

Users will also get 'personal type' based on the videos they like the most. Apart from videos, YouTube Recap will also include music if users listen a lot to music for a year on YouTube.

YouTube Recap will be released in North America first. In the near future, this feature will be expanded worldwide. Mobile users can find this feature in the YouTube app on the Home tab or you.

However, mobile users must use YouTube version 18.43 or later for Android and iOS. Meanwhile, desktop users can access Recap via YouTube.com/recap when it is available on their account.
