This time, YouTube left other streaming services behind and launched the Recap before them. A number of new features with even more personalized stats are available this year.

Identity: It allows you to see a personalized “Music Personality” that captures your music vibe based on your streaming or listening habits. This feature is similar to Spotify Wrapped 2022’s Listening Personality. However, the latter is a full-fledged assessment.
Hard-To-Find Content: This lets you discover the unique-to-YouTube content including remixes and live performances that you can’t find elsewhere. Your Recap will feature a compilation of those gems that you’ve streamed the whole year.

YouTube Music Recap 2022 Not Working: How to Fix it?
A number of social media users are reporting that their YouTube Music Recap 2022 is not working. For some users, the Recap is not playing despite tapping the “Watch Now” button numerous times while other users are not able to find the Recap altogether.
Since its launch a day back, YouTube Music users are experiencing a number of issues while viewing their yearly recap.
If you are one of them, here are some general troubleshooting tips that you can try:
1. Update the YouTube Music App
If you are not able to find your YouTube Music Recap 2022 in the YT Music app or the main YouTube app, then you might be using an older version of the app. The recently launched year-end experience is exclusively available on the latest app version.
So, go to the Play Store or App Store based on your device and update the “YouTube Music” app. Once the app is updated, launch it and see if you can find the “Recap.” You can also try the same trick with the main YouTube app.
2. Watch YouTube Music Recap on a Different Device
Another solution you can try is to watch the YouTube Music Recap 2022 on a different device if it’s not playing on yours. You can sign in to your Google account on a separate Android or iOS device and find your Recap there.
If it’s playing here, there is an issue with your device. To resolve that, try uninstalling and re-installing the YouTube app or clearing its app cache from the settings.
3. Wait until Recap becomes available for everyone
YouTube has just rolled out Recap 2022 and it’s not available for everyone yet. The music listening stats-based experience is gradually being rolled out in various regions. Users of some of the regions haven’t got access to it yet.
If you can’t find it in your YouTube app or the YouTube Music app, then you should just wait until Google rolls it out for everyone. YouTube Music Recap 2022 will be available for everyone within a couple of days.
The problems like Youtube Music Recap being stuck or not playing will also go away on their own. Meanwhile, you can report the issues to Google and YouTube. There is a good chance that their technical team is already working to resolve the problems.
