[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.
What would you like to see added to the Monthly Recaps? Please continue to leave us your feedback below and upvote this post to show your support for the new feature.

Maybe fix the recap so that at least it’s personal!! I’m subbed to many people and all I gotten is nothing but data I’m nothing with. I want personal info like my most used emote, my lines send,…
I already got excluded from getting my viewer recap 2years now and now I get useless recap pls fix and if you can’t fix it remove it pls

I thought this was a nice idea, and I look forward to being able to use it.
Twitch's email told me to check this out for a specific streamer, but that streamer apparently isn't part of the group that has this feature.
I spent too long trying to figure out how to view a recap that doesn't exist.
Working on your announcements to present accurate information would have made this a much better experience for me.

Just to report bugs: The email I asked me to check out a monthly recap for a streamer I'm subbed to, but who does not seem to be part of the experiment. However I was able to view recaps for several other streamers from my subscriptions page. Also, one of the pages says "Unable to get recap data," perhaps that is the page for spammed emotes since that was advertised but not shown in the recap.

Got an email with a link to the Month Recap. It went to the channel page but there was nothing about a recap. It just auto-played the latest VOD like usual. Error 404 feature not found.

So far, the feature still seems to be buggy unfortunately. For my channel it says I haven't streamed in May (and hence also 0 minutes of streaming) which isn't true, especially since there's a clip from that month in my top clips.
I'm glad tho that it doesn't show any viewer or follower numbers because that would just make the pressure streamers have and put on themselves worse. So please NEVER include that. -

I call this feature "useless" Kappa

Everyone who's being negative about this obviously isn't a part of smaller communities where watcher's are closer with their streamers. This is a nice simple way to let people see how much they're impacting those smaller stream channels and for streamers to see how much interaction they get on a smaller than yearly scale. It just went out today, so I'm sure a lot of the links are buggy and not working, but maybe actually give it a chance and get feedback from our viewers before complaining about it... I'm glad Twitch is working on adding new and different features, anything that adds a little more interaction between me and my viewers is interesting! I'll post again once it's up and running properly but from what I've seen I love seeing how much I've interacted in people's chats!

Monthly recaps are way too much. I don't need this littering my inbox for every person I'm subscribed to. I feel like this feature will drive subscribers away.

The link to my monthly recap just redirects me to my subscription page; nothing on stats.

So first thank you for the opportunity to have the month recap option. I am very happy to be apart of something like this.
So the actual test, it was a little hard to find the recap but when I did find it, it was interesting to see the channels that I am subscribed to and what emotes I am able to use and how long I have till the next "anniversary". -

I think this is a super fun idea, but there needs to be more personalized information about the subscriber that's watching it. Maybe how many chat messages THEY sent could be shown next to the total chat number section? Similar with the emotes, showing which emotes THEY used the most. Right now it's pretty generic but a fun idea that could be expanded upon.

I got an email saying that i was selected for the monthly recap but when I go to my page there is no link to be found, and my subs also can't see the link

I can't seem to access any recap info, either. I'm interested in what this function would provide, but right now it provides nothing. At one point I even suspected the email notifying me of this feature as phishing.

TheAstropath commented
I don't see why I, as a viewer, would care about any of the information provided except for the top clips (which, as someone else pointed out, can be seen elsewhere)

Yeah, I don't like it. Yearly recaps are special, this will take that magic that makes recaps special away. Put the idea in the don't use idea box.

it works terribly, step 3 doesn't load at all, text in the final step is outside of box and overall it doesn't show any interesting data, I can explore top clip from the month without this
