Audience retention measures how well a video maintains the attention of its viewers throughout playback. JWP represents this measure as a graph displaying the duration of the video that viewers have watched before clicking away or stopping the playback.
The Audience Retention graph displays the following items:
Lifetime **Total Viewers** who have watched the media
**Remaining Viewers** at a specific timestamp
**Time Watched** at the timestamp
Play button to play the video and watch how retention changes during playback
By clicking at any point along the timeline, you can see the **Remaining Viewers** at any timestamp.

High audience retention throughout a media item indicates that it is engaging and successful in keeping the viewers interested. Low audience retention highlights opportunities to improve the aspects of the media.
Understanding audience retention can help you identify weaknesses in storytelling, pacing, video quality, and relevance to the target audience.
