Statistics¶
The Statistics page in the dashboard (per project) shows how your videos are watched. It is organized into headline metric tiles, trend charts, and — when you focus on a single video — a second-by-second audience-retention graph. A caption at the top of the page shows the active date range, so it is clear what period the figures cover.
Headline metrics¶
At the top of the page, five tiles summarize the selected period. Each tile shows the value, a small trend sparkline, and a change badge comparing it to the previous equal-length period (for example, the previous 30 days). A green ▲ is an increase, a red ▼ a decrease; the badge is hidden when there is no prior data to compare against.
| Metric | What it means |
|---|---|
| Plays | Number of play sessions (a viewer who pauses and resumes in one session counts once). |
| Play rate | Plays ÷ loads — the share of times the player loaded that turned into a play. |
| Watch time | Total time watched across all viewers, shown in its natural unit (hours / minutes). |
| Completion | Share of plays that reached the end of the video. |
| Unique viewers | Distinct viewers in the period. |
How viewers are counted
Each play session is tagged with a viewer id. Returning viewers are recognized across sessions, and Unique viewers counts them once. Sessions without a viewer id are not included in that count (but still count toward Plays and Watch time).
Plays over time¶
The Plays over time chart breaks Views, Plays, and Watch time down per day, so you can see when your videos got attention across the selected period.
Completion funnel¶
The Completion funnel shows how far viewers get, as a share of plays: Played → Watched 25% → 50% → 75% → Completed. Each bar is the percentage of plays that reached that checkpoint, so you can spot where viewers drop off. The checkpoints are percentage-based per play, so the funnel is meaningful both for a single video and across an entire project (videos of different lengths still line up on the same scale).
Audience retention (per video)¶
Select a single video (from the Top videos table or the Video filter) to reveal the Audience retention graph. It plots, for each moment of the video, the share of plays still watching:
- Watched — the percentage of plays that reached that moment.
- Rewatched — replays layered on top, highlighting the moments viewers went back and watched more than once.
The dashed line marks the average engagement across the video. A curve that drops sharply early points to an intro that loses viewers; a bump in Rewatched marks a moment people replay. The graph has several aids for reading it at a glance:
- Hover preview — hovering shows a card with the video frame at that moment (from the scrub-preview storyboard), the timestamp, the Watched/Rewatched percentages, and the current chapter, so you can see what is on screen where viewers drop off or replay.
- Key-moment callouts — the most-replayed moment (★) and the single biggest drop-off (▼) are marked automatically, so the two points that matter most stand out without hunting for them.
- Engagement heatmap — a warmth strip under the graph, aligned to the timeline, colors each moment from green (high retention) to red (low), giving a quick visual summary of which parts hold attention.
- Chapter markers — if the video has a chapter track, each chapter start is marked on the timeline, so you can read retention against your own sections.
- Click to seek — click anywhere on the graph to open the video at that exact moment in a new tab, to watch what's happening where viewers drop off or replay.
The storyboard hover preview appears only when the video has scrub-preview thumbnails (generated for completed videos), and chapter markers only when it has a chapter track.
Top videos and countries¶
When no single video is selected, two tables rank your Top videos and Top countries by watch time for the period. Click a row to drill into that video, or to filter the whole page to that country.
Filters¶
Use the Filters panel to change what you see:
- Date range — defaults to the last 30 days; pick any range up to one year.
- Video — focus the whole page on a single video (and show its retention graph).
- Country — filter the metrics to viewers from one country (click a row in Top countries).
Clearing the Video filter or pressing Reset returns to the project-wide view.
Programmatic access¶
The same numbers are available through the Statistics API.
