1. A computer-implemented method for automatically annotating an intended video with at least one personalized recap video based on previously viewed videos, comprising:
automatically tracking user viewership of the previously viewed videos, and in response to detecting an intention to view the intended video, automatically generating the at least one personalized recap video based on a configurable amount of time elapsed since the user viewership of a previously viewed video immediately preceding the intended video, wherein automatically generating the at least one personalized recap video further comprises:
automatically identifying and extracting a subset of video footage from one or more of the previously viewed videos based on the tracked user viewership and based on a determined relevancy of the subset of video footage to unwatched content in the intended video, wherein automatically identifying and extracting the subset of video footage further comprises automatically identifying a topic and an entity appearing at various points in the unwatched content, and extracting the subset of video footage matching and comprising the identified topic and the entity from one or more previously viewed videos;
generating the at least one personalized recap video by compiling and sorting the extracted subset of video footage from the one or more previously viewed videos into a compilation video; and
annotating the intended video with the at least one personalized video by presenting the at least one personalized recap video on the intended video.
