Listen up: the holidays are here and we want to celebrate with all of our family and friends. That move is not in the playbook this year! We need to do the right thing a little bit longer to slow the spread of COVID-19. So be a team player, and do your part to help keep the holidays safe.

When 2020 left us all with questions, millions of you came to YouTube to ask, “How?” How to stay safe. How to work from home. How to learn new things, love new things, and grieve for the things we’d lost. And by doing that—by getting creative—we were all able to find the answers we needed. So, to everyone who asked, “How?” in 2020—and to everyone who answered—thank you.

YouTube Gaming has its biggest year, ever, in 2020 with 100B watch time hours and 40M+ active gaming channels. Here, we break down the moments that defined gaming on YouTube this year. We're living turbulent times. Despite the ups and downs from 2020, many have turned to gaming on YouTube as a way to find connection, entertainment, and to share moments with friends and loved ones during these trying times. Through it all, we’ve connected even more deeply with gaming creators — some even had their biggest year ever on YouTube in 2020. As the year comes to an end, we’re reflecting on the moments, creators and trends that defined gaming on YouTube in 2020.
