You watched the other day a very interesting video on YouTube . You want to watch it again. But here it is: impossible to find it! You don't remember the title or the channel that offered it... Don't panic: the platform records all your viewings in a history, in order to allow you to review certain content.

The YouTube history is easy to find: it is located in the column dedicated to your subscriptions and views. You can consult it at any time and find all the videos that have caught your attention. This tutorial shows you where to find this valuable tool.
