YouTube – How to Export Your Personal History

youtube

In YouTube, we can click on "History" and see the videos we've been playing from the most recent to the earlier plays.

I spent the night listening to a friend selecting music from YouTube and I want to get a list of the links he played so I can listen to them again at home.

There are only rather ugly workarounds for this one AFAIK. But here they are:

  • http://google.com/takeout lets you download your data. All of it, including the watch history. After download, you can send that to your friend. It's most likely in JSON though which is handy for programming stuff but not so nice to read as a human.
  • Manually go through the watch history (opening links in a new tab is useful here) and add each of them to a playlist. If this playlist is public, your friend can access it later on.
