A video may attract strong viewership and still fail to achieve business objectives:

  • Ad impressions may be low
  • High-performing content may be concentrated in low-monetization regions
  • Highly engaging videos are overlooked while lower-impact content receives priority exposure

To identify and address these issues, teams need meaningful insight.

The Playback (beta) tab provides a comprehensive view of video performance across plays, ad impressions, geography, platform, and viewer engagement. The timeframe can be adjusted to analyze trends spanning multiple years. Insights from this tab equip teams to identify high-performing content, address underperformance, and plan future content more effectively.
