Videos I watch in W2G are not popping up in my Youtube history

user_7bdf7ad00b36044 · October 26, 2020, 12:30am

I noticed that W2G has stopped recording my watched videos in Youtube’s watch history. I have tried changing my W2G account and my browser, but it still does not record my watched videos. Anyone know the solution?

Hi,
I just wanted to make shure:

You want to make the Youtube Videos that you watched, shown up von your history in Youtube.com/de or so…

If it is so i am sorry to tell you that wasn´t a feature of watch2gether it is a YT thing!

Thanks for your input. It could be that your browser or one of your extensions is blocking 3rd party cookies … or that Youtube changed something on their end.

Oh yeah that could id be too! I forgot XD

My friend doesn’t seem to have the same problem as me, so I’m guessing it is a cookie problem. But from clearing them and watching a video through W2G, it didn’t pop up in my youtube history.

Another thing, I learned that my W2G history isn’t working. It doesn’t keep track of previous sessions.

The history is stored locally in your browser. Could it be that you regularly delete site settings and cookies in your browser?

user_7bdf7ad00b36044 · November 2, 2020, 3:46am

I very rarely do so. I only do it to see if it may be causing a problem (Like I did in this case).

user_43067c0138d71c9 · November 26, 2020, 10:41am

Do you allow cookies from watch2gether?

user_7bdf7ad00b36044 · November 26, 2020, 10:58pm

Yes I do. I even have it set specifically to keep the W2G cookies

user_43067c0138d71c9 · November 27, 2020, 5:53am

Are you getting any cookies?

user_7bdf7ad00b36044 · November 27, 2020, 8:21pm

I checked and it looks like I am

Are you allowing youtube cookies?

user_5a5baf9b4bc64f6 · August 6, 2021, 9:54pm

I also have this issue. I’m accepting all cookies and i’ve disabled all addons in chrome. Anyone get this working?

Are you signed into your YT account while using Watch2Gether?

user_7bdf7ad00b36044 · September 13, 2022, 5:03am

Oh my god, I didn’t realize you messaged me a year ago. Yeah I am logged in.

Also have had this issue for about 18 months now. Appears it may be the the video called by W2G other services use the new url link for videos and they seem to appear in the history.

user_95f53b7185f71fb · October 28, 2022, 4:31pm

Thanks for that feedback! Which services are you referring to and what is the “the new url link”. Can you provide an example?

user_7bdf7ad00b36044 · February 14, 2023, 6:01am

Perhaps he is saying that different “Watch Together” type services are able to update the youtube history properly.

user_95f53b7185f71fb · February 14, 2023, 2:35pm

Sure i got that. Still not sure what "the new url link” is thought…
