watch time

Hello people of YTTalk! How are you today? I would just like to announce that my channel has achieved a whopping 10 million minutes of watch time. This equates to over 19 years and 70 days worth of watch time. Needless to say, my channel isn't even close to being 19 years old, so this means it's...

If someone is watching one of my videos then half way through the video they open up a new tab or window in their browser and my video is still playing in the background or minimized but they aren't actually watching it or able to see it.. Does YouTube count to point wen they open a new browser...

What are some ways to increase the watch time for my videos?

Wait wait, before I even introduce myself I want you to read all of the tips I gave, why? Because I can assure you that if you'll implement all those tips regularly, you'll rank higher in search results, get more viewers and more active subs and mainly - lead to awesome community based on your...

Hi everyone, What is considered as a decent 'watch time' average? Mine fluctuates only a little between 1:10 and 1:20. This seems low to me, but then again I actually try to keep my videos brief. Thanks all :-)

I have a problem that I doubt will resolve but out of curiousity what is the average watch time and retention rates? My channel is a free music channel and users tend to skip until they find the right track. So they do in perhaps 20-30 seconds out of 2 mins plus and they are off. Does YouTube...

How long is too long for you to want to click on a video? I guess with gaming it may be a bit different, but I tend to watch more vlog, how-to, comedy and general content, and anything beyond 15 minutes makes me wonder if it's worth it. Especially anything that is basically someone sitting on...

IE: If you are interviewing people and asking them funny questions, do you put the funniest clips in the front? If you put them near the end your are building it up but risk losing viewers clicking out of the video Aiming to do things to keep watch time up

I will be posting some intro music that are about 3 to 15 seconds long. This means these videos are super short. Will I have any issues with watch time? I understand if people watch longer means it is better and YouTube drives more traffic to them. My question is if it is a matter of finishing...

Hey all, so Ive only been a YouTube Gamer for a month or so & got about 45 videos or so & when i look at my Analytics & the watch time theres only one video that is 100% viewed, the rest are really low, so are people not watching my videos completely or do I generally need to become better? If...

I'm curious to see how different everyone's traffic sources are (since just from seeing another post, there are some differences.) So, what I think would be interesting is if people went into their Analytics, viewed Traffic Sources, and then shared their top traffic sources. For my channel...

I am at 30 subscribers, more than halfway to my first goal of 50. Anyway, this is some awesome progress, and so looking forward to more in the future!

In another venue, someone was complaining because they had a really low percentage of watch time from their subscribers (as compared to non-subscribers). They said they had something like 98% watch time from non-subscribers, but only 2% from subscribers...they ideally wanted it to be more like...
