YouTube Recap is here: Find out how much brainrot videos you’ve watched in 2025
First we had Spotify Wrapped, then Apple Music Replay, and now YouTube’s getting in on the annual roundup experience too. The video streaming giant has announced their first ever YouTube recap, after years of viewers and creators asking for one.
YouTube’s new Recap feature will offer users a personalized dive into the content you’ve watched over the past year, surfacing the interests, deep dives, and standout moments that defined your time on the platform in 2025. The feature pulls from your watch history to generate up to a dozen interactive “cards,” each highlighting your top channels, niche interests and any changes in your viewing habits.
YouTube wants to put the ‘You’ in YouTube by including personality traits into each user’s YouTube Recap. According to them, they went through nine rounds of feedback and over 50 different concept tests during the creation process of these personalities before resulting in their final list of personalities. Without spoiling too much about what each personality means, YouTube did at least share that the most common personalities were the Sunshiner, Wonder Seeker and the Connector, while the three rarest ones were the Philosopher and the Dreamer.
For the dozens of you out there who use YouTube Music as your default music streaming platform, don’t worry your YouTube Music Recap hasn’t been replaced. You may still get some stats and history such as your top artists and songs in YouTube Recap, but the existing YouTube Music Recap will be available on its own with a more thorough annual look back at your music choices over the last year.
To find your YouTube Recap, simply head over to the ‘You’ tab on your app or if you’re on desktop, you can head to youtube.com/recap . If you don’t see it yet, don’t worry; YouTube says that they’ve just only started rolling it out for YouTube users in North America, with the rest of the world to follow soon, so you should be able to find yours by the end of the week.
