YouTube is rolling out ‘YouTube Recap,’ a personalized year-end video review for users, separate from its music version. This feature highlights viewing habits, from favorite channels to evolving interests, and assigns a unique viewer personality type. Available now for North American users, it will soon be global, allowing sharing on social media.
You’ll get up to 12 personalized cards highlighting everything from your most-watched channels to how your interests shifted over the months.
