YouTube is joining the year-end trend with its own highlight reel. The new YouTube Recap shows your 2025 viewing habits in a simple, clean format. You see your top channels, the topics you followed the most, and the kind of videos you kept returning to. Everything stays focused on your watch history, so the recap feels personal and direct.
As you dig through your recap, you also see your top artists and songs if you listened to a lot of music on the platform. This mirrors how Spotify Wrapped and Apple Music Replay work, and YouTube confirmed it wants users to share these results easily. The company even built shareable cards for Instagram and TikTok so you can post your highlights without extra steps.
Because YouTube shared the rollout schedule, you now know the feature is available today in the U.S. and Canada. Users in other countries get access later this week. You can open YouTube Recap from the homepage on the web, or you can tap the You tab in the iOS or Android app.
How You Access Your YouTube Recap
You open the Recap the same way you open your regular library. On the You tab, YouTube places a clear entry point at the top so you do not miss it. The design stays simple, and the layout keeps your main highlights upfront. You get quick cards, easy navigation, and fast sharing links that work across all major platforms.
If you want a short summary of your year on YouTube, this tool delivers it with no clutter and no guesswork. Let us know your top channel in the comments.
