YouTube trending videos, country by country: how to use Trenvid
Compare trending YouTube videos across 11 countries: switch countries, read each category's top videos, browse past charts, and play them on your TV with your phone.
On any given day, the videos taking off in South Korea look nothing like the ones trending in Brazil or Japan. In Utilizy we looked at tools for small jobs. This time it is a site for seeing what the world is watching.
Trenvid is a place to compare trending YouTube videos from 11 countries. The charts are collected every four hours, and you can switch countries and categories as you go. With TV mode, it can also play a country's trending videos on a computer or TV while you change countries from your phone. There is no sign-up.

A mock of the front page layout. The real page shows video thumbnails and titles.
The row of buttons under the menu is the country switcher: the United States, Brazil, Russia, Japan, India, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Mexico, Türkiye and South Korea, each with its current local time. Below it, the front page is built from that country's charts:
| Section | What you see |
|---|---|
| Featured video | A top video from the country's category charts, labelled like "People & Blogs #1" |
| What changed today | How many videos are new in the top 10, the biggest climber and the video longest on the chart, compared with yesterday |
| Category rows | The top videos in Entertainment, People & Blogs, Sports and Pets & Animals, with News & Politics further down |
| Right now in 11 countries | Each country's People & Blogs #1, Entertainment #1 and Music #1 side by side |
"See all →" on a category row opens that category's page, with category tabs for Comedy, Science & Technology, Howto & Style, Autos & Vehicles and more. Music, Gaming and Film & Animation sit at the end with a dashed outline; a note on the front page explains that since July 2025, YouTube's overall chart covers only these three. On a category page, your category stays selected when you switch countries.
The interface language and the country are separate choices. The address /en/kr/ shows South Korea in English, and /en/jp/ shows Japan in English. Change the interface language with the globe icon at the top right.
2. How to read a card
Each card shows its rank over the thumbnail, with these details underneath:
| Label | Meaning |
|---|---|
| ▲3 · ▼2 | How many places the video moved up or down |
| NEW | A video that just entered the chart |
| +1.2M a day | Views gained in a day |
| Day 4 | How many days it has been on the chart |
| Peak #1 | Its best position so far |
3. Zoom out: world, fastest growing, keywords and charts
The top menu gives you other ways to look at the charts:
| Menu | What you see |
|---|---|
| World | The number one video in each country, and the videos charting in the most countries at once |
| Fastest growing | Videos whose views are rising fastest |
| Trending keywords | Popular searches in each country, collected every six hours |
| Daily charts | Past charts by date, listed month by month |
| Daily brief · Weekly | Pages that sum up a day or a week |
Once a day's chart is recorded, it never changes again, so the daily charts are handy for looking back at what was trending on a particular day.
4. On a video page
Tap a card to open the video page. The YouTube player does not load until you press play, and then the video plays right on the page. If you move to another page, it keeps playing in a small player.
- Rank by country, by day: a grid of countries and dates. Each cell shows that day's best position on the country's overall chart, so you can see where a video took off first and where it lasted longest.
- What this video is about: an automatic summary based on the video's captions. The site notes that it may be imprecise, so treat it as a quick guide.
- Watch on YouTube ↗ · Share: open the video on YouTube or share the link.
5. TV mode: switch countries from your phone
Watch on TV at the top right opens TV mode. Play a country's trending videos on a computer or TV, and pick the country from the phone in your hand. You need no app and no account, and the two devices do not have to be on the same Wi-Fi.
What plays is a mix of the country's top People & Blogs, Entertainment, Sports and Pets & Animals videos, alternating with its overall chart. Step to the previous or next country with the arrows, like changing channels. The phone has three tabs: Play for playback, 10-second skips, volume, captions, repeat and fullscreen, Queue for pasting a YouTube link, the playlist and trending videos by country and category, and Settings for quality, speed and disconnecting.
6. Watch history
Videos you watch on Trenvid are listed under "Watch history". The history is stored only in the browser you are using, and you can clear it all at once.
