YouTube is rolling out a new experience that lets you quickly review the most popular video habits of the past year. The Recap feature “uniquely highlights interests, depths, and moments” based on your viewing history, according to YouTube’s announcement, providing up to 12 cards that highlight your top channels, interests, and how your taste in videos has changed over time.

YouTube’s Recap feature will also assign users a “personality type” based on their viewing habits, such as Adventurer, Skill Builder, and Creative Spirit — which appears to be comparable to Spotify’s listening personality types.
Recap will launch for YouTube users in the US starting today, and will roll out globally this week. The feature is available on both mobile and desktop devices, and can be found by selecting the dedicated button on the YouTube home page or under the “You” tab in the user menu.
Some stats related to listening and watching music, such as top artists and songs, will also be included in Recap, although it does not replace existing stats.
