If you can bring in 39% view time on a 20 minute video, I'd say you're doing well, that's a lot of watch time! I think YouTube cares more about how many minutes they are watching on your videos than the actual %. And then they track what the viewer is doing after they watch their video. Hopefully staying on YouTube!

Well i would love it if the 39% was on those 20min videos but they are not haha thats why i mentioned that they would be bringing mine down, i have about 8 videos around 20mins long and the rest (about 10) are only a couple of mins long and they're the ones that seem to keep the viewers whereas the longer ones (which are my COD:AW veteran walkthrough) don't :'( sadly hahaha

Channel watch time is more important than audience retention (even though they are obviously related). Whatever you do you must keep the viewers staying on YouTube as long as possible - preferably on your own channel. Of course try not to break some written and unwritten rules when you keep them watching till the end of the video!

Currently showing 34% overall. We have some that are in the upper 70% range at the high end, and others in the upper 20% range at the low end.

Bro, you are honestly lucky, especially compared to mine. My audience retention is only 23%, but I think my old videos honestly ruined my chances for any good audience retention for a while.Just thought I'd ask this question as I saw a thread relating to it the other day - what kind of audience retention are you guys getting? I'm averaging 49% at the moment, though my recent videos have gotten upwards of 70%. Just curious as to you guys' audience retention and how it's changed over the time you've been on YouTube, and how we all compare

Mine is 43% over all. Which I'm fairly happy about considering most of my Let's Plays run 15-20 minutes.

I'm surprised it's that high! Are they getting a glitch where they can't shut it off quick enough?
