YouTube statistics tracker: how to track what you watch

Quick answer

YouTube doesn’t offer a complete tracker for your viewing habits. There’s a companion tool for YouTube, TubeWrapped, that automatically records your watch time, the videos you watch and your favorite creators, and lets you check your stats day after day without doing anything. To use it, install the extension for free on a desktop browser (Chrome, Edge, Brave or Opera).

What is a YouTube statistics tracker?

A tracker is a tool that records continuously what you do and shows it to you as numbers. Applied to YouTube, it notes every video you watch, for how long and on which channel, then adds it all up day after day.

YouTube offers nothing like it: your history keeps a list of videos, but no totals and no tracking over time. TubeWrapped does that work for you, in the background.

What TubeWrapped tracks for you

As soon as the extension is installed, it automatically tracks:

  • Watch timeThe time a video is actually playing, ads excluded.
  • Videos watchedEvery video you actually watched, not the ones you just opened.
  • Channels watchedThe creators you watch, with the time spent on each one.
  • Times of dayWhen you’re on YouTube the most.
  • StreaksYour longest streak of consecutive days on YouTube.
  • RecordsYour busiest day and your longest viewing session.
  • EvolutionYour numbers day by day and month by month, as a chart.
  • And much more…Your Shorts, your viewer profile and other surprises to discover.

Automatic tracking, with nothing to do

  • No export: no need to download your Google data.
  • Syncs every two hours: your stats are always up to date.
  • A history that keeps growing: the longer you keep the extension, the further back your tracking goes.
  • Ads don’t count: only the time spent on your videos is measured.

Everything is in your dashboard, by week, by month or for the year, and even on your phone once your Wrapped is created.

Share and compare your Wrapped with friends

TubeWrapped is also a small social network around YouTube: pick a username, add your friends and see what they watch.

  • Add friends by searching for their username.
  • Compare your stats: watch time, videos watched, favorite creators.
  • Share your Wrapped as a single image on social media.
  • Public or private account: you decide who sees your stats.

How to track your YouTube stats with TubeWrapped

TubeWrapped is a browser extension. Once installed, it uses what you watch on YouTube to calculate all your YouTube stats. There’s nothing to export or set up: three steps are enough.
