    This isn't really Windows related, but no other place to put it. I've posted numerous YouTube videos and never really bothered to set up a channel or anything. I know it's there by default, but what I didn't realize is that it shows your entire viewing history on your channel. I don't want people seeing what I've been watching or "liking", that's just dumb. I don't see an option to disable that level of detail, it's just make it public or private. Is there a way to specify that?

    Settle down young man! :D

    Click on "View as public" and you'll see how the general page looks. Then look at any other user page. You can't see their history. When you bring up that other users main page, the drop down at the top of the page, containing history, is your user history. ;)

    I haven't been able, to see your history, when I saw your flooded basement.

    Don't worry, be happy!

    I've seen your Google search history. :vbeek:

    There's nothing more freaky than that...

    Your viewing history is private. It can never be made public thru any setting.

    If I go to incognito window it shows liked and commented videos. I don't really care, just a lot of it doesn't relate the PC related stuff I've done and nobody cares. Especially when I've been watching stuff with my kids and "like" it, because that's what they like to do.

    Just logout. That's what I did.
