We watch a lot of videos every day on YouTube and it is very hard to remember about the every video we watch. YouTube might suggest some of your watched videos watch it again but the human mind is different and we demand to watch different videos everytime that may depend upon the situation. YouTube keeps track of everything that you do on the site but lacks certain features such as to search YouTube Watch history. You may need a video to be watched that you might have watched before 2 to 3 years. You might have remembered some keyword on that video but when you search on YouTube, you may not get the same video that you have watched. YouTube is smart enough to mark with a red border at the bottom to indicate how far you have watched a particular video. However, if the video is very old and you need to watch it again, you may need to dig through several pages on YouTube to watch the video again. Always remember that Google records each and every activity of yours and hence you can search through your archives. Google My Activity is a site that provides you all the activity on Google products that you have carried out by signing into your Google account. Steps to Search YouTube Watch History
