[Experiment] Monthly Recap
We're experimenting with a new perk for Subscribers on Twitch: Monthly Recap! This summary shows personalized stats on select channels such as top clips, most spammed emotes, and more. It's just one more way to relive time well spent with your favorite creators and communities.
You can learn more about Monthly Recaps here: https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/monthly-recap
As always, we'd love to hear your feedback on this experiment!
Hello everyone,
Starting in April, viewers will be able to view their Monthly Recap for channels they're subscribed to! If you were previously a part of our 5-week experiment, your access to Monthly Recaps is now reinstated for channels to which you subscribe. You can learn more about this feature at the Help Article linked in the original post.

Love the idea of the monthly recap - got the e-mail for my most frequented channel, but there doesn't seem to be recap statistics for me on that channel - I even tried clicking around to no avail.
Hope it works for next month!

Actualizando ya puedo acceder a el aunque en mis suscripciones no me aparezca si puedo acceder cuando veo un directo y me aparece abajo la opción, también mis suscriptores la tienen y les ha gustado mucho y se sorprendieron mucho con sus estadísticas por lo que es una buena idea y a ellos les gustaría contar con esa ventaja siempre que se pueda

Same as others. Got the email about my channel, but no recap is available.
One channel that I'm subbed to, I DO see the thing about recap, and it worked, (pg 3/8 blank at that time)..
Either we have glitches, or the email needs a bit of work as to who actually has the recaps.
(I do like the concept though)

Нет проблем с функционалом Ежемесячного обзора, выглядит прикольно, но чего-то не хватает, например: не только личную статистику, но и статистику сообщений каждого стрима который был за месяц, ещё какую функцию за баллы канала используют чаще всего. Для автора канала очень удобно наблюдать статистику смайликов; на счёт общей суммы сообщений - считаю что нужно добавить в обзор статистику сообщений на каждый отдельный стрим, чтобы лучше понимать свою аудиторию, не только за месяц.
К остальной статистике нет вопросов. Со стороны Платного подписчика нет какого-либо различия, так что сравнивать смысла нет, всё тоже самое, только статистика разная. -

A good idea, but the second (or was it the 3rd?) page said "unable to get recap data", so I have no idea what was meant to be there.
I guess they were supposed to show my own statistics, like how many chat messages I sent or what emotes I used the most? I guess? But none of that was working unfortunately, but as I´ve seen I am not the only one.
I also actually got an email about the recap for a channel that does not have recaps or it just doesn´t show the link...
I think it is a good idea for subscribers, but it should not be mainly general stats, but most of it should be personal - like messages I´ve sent (or how many in total, how many "this month"), what emotes etc. and only after these have maybe some general statistics, because it really does not give any added value to see that in total this month 12345 chat messages were sent from everyone (it is a nice statistic, don´t get me wrong, just not the first thing I would open MY recap for.
Maybe even add some features like most messages I´ve sent (e.g. which specific stream I´ve sent the most messages), specific stream where I´ve sent the most emotes etc.

So far so good. The default "size" on my laptop screen though was way too large. The "slides" were overlapping the menu at the bottom making both impossible to read. I shrunk the screen size (zoomed out) and it looked fine. It would be great if the CLIPS page had a link to "how to create a clip" so that it would encourage the viewer to make clips. Last thing is: don't know how to find the recap except through the "Notifications" --> Subscriptions --> See Recap. Is there a way to find it elsewhere?

Every sub that has the recap option for me just has a blank page saying "unable to get recap data" for my stats. I also never received yearly recap.

As a viewer and streamer, I think this is great for newcomers on a channel but useless for the involved viewers.
So I don't understand why "This is a new experimental feature available to subscribers" only. -

I got an email saying my channel was selected for recaps, followed by an email saying my recap was ready but my recap link redirects to the front page of twitch and none of my active subs have access to recaps on my channel either.

Slide 3/8 seems to be generally broken, I get the message "Unable to get recap data" for every channel. In addition, I can't access my own channels recap, although it should be part of this test?

I quite like the new feature, but I think the language used needs some work. It feels a little too personal for viewers and feels like it will encourage parasocial relationships towards streamers. In particular the last page with the viewer x streamer box. That sort of expression is often used in shipping culture and there is absolutely a small percentage of users who are going to take this the wrong way. This wont effect most streamers, I don't expect any issues to happen with me personally, but I think its best to cover bases with the way its presented.
Other than this concern, a nice little extra to offer for a subscription, hopefully encourage some more engagement.

I really like it, on the last slide though next to the "Share the love" button that just gift's subs, give the ability to share that image of the recap to social media. I'd love to be able to tweet it and share that with the streamer I'm supporting, or my followers.

Same as some others, got a message on page 3 "Unable to get recap data." Unsure what it was supposed to say.

As a viewer I find these kind of recaps really fascinating for seeing my personal chat data! Unfortunately the two pages that actually show that personal data are kind of broken. Page 3 (I think is meant to be your top emotes?) reads 'Unable to get recap data', and for some people Page 8 only shows the sub badge and months subbed with no individual stats (time watched, chats sent, streams played). It seems strange that the second point works for some people and not for all, after comparing with international friends it's clearly not a regional issue and having read the FAQ I don't see how it would be an issue on my end either. What's the point of a personal recap if you can't see your personal contributions to a chat/stream.
TL;DR I like the concept but it is disappointing that the individual viewer/chat stats don't work for everyone.

I think many of us are experiencing the same problem, I got the email and I followed the instructions on the link, but unfortunately the link did not lead me to the monthly recap, I am still trying to figure out how to access to it.

Like others have stated, I got an email to see my recap for "xyz streamer" but when I go to my subscriptions page I didn't see it for the streamer in the email. I was able to see it for another streamer that I watch and I think it's a great idea.
I also wasn't able to see the "emotes" page as it said "Unable to get recap data". So would be nice to see this being fixed in the next month.Overall I like the idea and would love to see it get implemented and maybe see some additional features. Maybe messages that you typed out the most, most messages you sent on a stream, etc.

Just got the email about the new monthly recap for a specific streamer, but sadly when I clicked on the button that took me to my subscription page it did not show how to access the recap for the said streamer. I feel like having this feature is amazing as it shows how much you are active in the said stream, but having no actual way to access it at the moment is hard.

I received an email today about the Monthly Recap for a specific streamer and when i clicked the button it took me to my subscription pages.
I tried the tool in Chrome, Firefox, and Edge with the same results.I think the Monthly Recap sounds like a cool and neat idea, i wish i was able to see it to review the tool.
Twitch: when you include me on an email with a new feature i expect to actually be able to use it. This was a disappointment because essentential you got me excited for a thing and then shut me out of the tool. it feels like being rejected.

I'm all about community and being as informative and transparent as possible to succeed in good communications and relations with my viewers, the monthly stats was insightful, interesting and super informative, it showed me how much i've made an impact on my channel and if my viewers are seeing what i'm seeing from my recap email, then that improves there experience to my channel and shows how much they have been involved in it. i think it's a really good experience imo, and i'm down for it~!
