Hello!

We are still pretty new and still a very small channel, still trying to get our heads round things like analytics data. Starting to understand a few things but there is one thing that baffles us more than the rest:

By far our top external source is in the category Unknown?

Is this normal? Does anybody have any idea what this traffic could be?

Hope somebody can shine a light on this, got us scratching our heads.

Normally unknown traffic is from when your video is embedded on another website. You might be able to get an idea where it's coming from if you look through your playback locations section.

If you share your link to an external website, its gonna show up as unknown. Just keep track of where you share your link, its the best way to keep track of it. If someone shared it without your knowledge ofcourse you have no way of knowing. If you google search your video you might be able to hunt down where it is located.
