Locating the feature does not require navigating complex settings menus, provided your mobile app is updated. The experience is housed directly inside the personal dashboard on iOS and Android devices.
To access the reel, open the official YouTube mobile app and tap the You tab on YouTube, located in the bottom right corner of the interface. If your account qualifies, a prominent promotional banner labeled "Your Recap is here" appears near the top of the screen, just beneath your profile avatar. Tapping this banner launches the full vertical story carousel, cycling through total minutes watched, seasonal viewing shifts, and channel rankings.
For those tracking songs and podcasts, the YouTube Music app features a parallel pathway. Opening YouTube Music, selecting your profile icon, and tapping the dedicated "Recap" shelf surfaces audio-specific listening stats, complete with personalized seasonal playlists that can be saved directly to your library.
