Reasons why you haven’t got recap 2023
For YouTube to personalise a Recap for you, there are certain eligibility requirements:
- To view Recap, users need at least 4 hours of listening time each season for Seasonal recaps, and 10 hours of listening time for End-of-Year Recaps across YouTube platforms.
- Recap isn't available to users who have autodelete set up for activity older than 3 months. This is a privacy feature that Google introduced last year and you can turn it off to get a Recap.
- If users listen to mostly made-for-kids music, Recap may be unavailable to them.
- Recap may also be temporarily unavailable if a user has recently deleted or edited their YouTube watch history.
- To get to the Recap page using a mobile device, users must have the latest YouTube app or YouTube Music app installed on their device. Update your app to get Recap.
