Where is the Segments tab?

I'm trying to create a segment from one of my activities by following https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQ2v4wlsbdA. However I don't see the Segments tab that the user clicks around 0:30 of the video. What am I missing?

I have the Edge 830 which of course supports segments.

Copy only link, without formatting. "FONT" is from old version of this forum, it was just showing text in Courier New. When garmin migrated old posts, they didn't migrated fonts formatting.…

Duh, I had to enable Segments in my Account Settings -> Privacy Settings -> toggle Segments switch so it's enabled

So to check your private times - click on Leaderboard -> Me Only:

There will be list of all your times on selected segment, sorted by fastest.

Check here: https://forums.garmin.com/apps-software/mobile-apps-web/f/garmin-connect-web/160954/trailblazer-badge-create-a-segment/

there are 2 solutions (use direct link or check option for garmin/strava segments).

Thanks. For some reason the direct link did not work for me (I did use my own numeric activity id in the link). I also switched from Strava to Garmin segments (I don't have Strava Premium).

Yes, this option should be turned on. You can also check this thread: https://forums.garmin.com/apps-software/mobile-apps-web/f/garmin-connect-web/191260/my-ranking-is-not-displayed-in-the-segments

In short: for segments there is the leaderboard, to show your times you need to make your activity public. Without that your times will be private.

Thanks. I don't really care about segment rankings with others, just against me.

This appears to be the correct answer. No matter what I do, I can't get the segments tab to appear on an activity (I adjusted privacy settings, etc, etc). BunBun's link version worked for me. Alternately you can add a segments card to your dashboard or go to https://connect.garmin.com/modern/segments to see what you have currently, but the only way to actually create a new one is to use the link above. Thanks!

You can try changing garmin/strava segments as mentioned, here is thread with description: https://forums.garmin.com/apps-software/mobile-apps-web/f/garmin-connect-web/229026/how-to-switch-between-strave-vs-garmin-segments-and-vise-versa/
