Excited about Spotify Wrapped? YouTube gets ahead and reveals your music and gaming tastes
Whether it’s music or your gaming channels, YouTube is now ready with its annual recap, where users can see a summary of their consumption throughout 2024.
As the year winds down, the air fills with anticipation-not just for holiday cheer, but also for digital year-in-review recaps. Platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and Deezer have made these personalized wrap-ups a beloved tradition, offering users a nostalgic snapshot of their habits. Of these, Spotify Wrapped stands out as a cultural heavyweight, with its colorful recaps dominating social media each December. While we wait for these popular retrospectives, YouTube has taken a proactive step by releasing its 2024 recap earlier than most.
Want to know what songs and streamers got you hooked this year? YouTube’s recap, now live, provides insight into your music and gaming preferences. But it’s not as simple as a desktop search; here’s how to find your personalized breakdown.
How do I view my 2024 YouTube recap?
To access your YouTube recap, you first need to go to your smartphone. That’s right, you can only view this recap through your mobile device. From there, when you select YouTube Gaming or YouTube Music, you’ll be greeted with a “get your recap” graphic.
Steps to View Your YouTube 2024 Recap
- Open the YouTube app on your phone
- Press the small compass in the top left-hand corner
- Select gaming or music
- Click on ‘get your recap’
- Watch the recap run through your highlights!
The gaming recap highlights your favorite streamed games, the channels you followed the most, and key in-game moments that caught your attention. Meanwhile, the music recap takes a page from Spotify Wrapped, offering a playlist of your top tracks and insights into your listening moods throughout the year. Podcasts are included in the music section, but don’t expect separate metrics for them.
