YouTube Analytics Real Time New Feature Update | youtube real time view ...

When logged in as a content owner or channel, by default the Realtime report shows estimated views data for the last 5 published videos. This data is also available when looking at reports for individual videos. This report can give you early insights into the performance of your most recently published videos and might help you to adjust their promotion strategy going forward.



Data display and accuracy



You can see two graphs for every video:



Hour-by-hour data is available for a sliding window of 2 days (“Last 48 hours”)



Minute-by-minute data is available for a sliding window of 1 hour (“Last 60 mins”)



Both graphs are referring to the local time zone of the viewer as determined by the computer’s setting. There is a latency of a few minutes between the occurrence of the view and its display in the report; data is then automatically updating, without the need to refresh the page. The “current” hour bar is highlighted to stress that the hour is still incomplete. Realtime data is estimated and meant to provide general guidance on potential view activity on your videos. This approximate character of the numbers is also shown in the rounding off to two significant digits.



Data availability



Realtime data is available on a per-video basis and cannot be aggregated. When selecting a different content entity, it is displayed as follows:



Channel



When looking at channel level data, we’re showing the last 5 published videos*. The vertical view count axis is aligned for all videos on one page to make comparisons easier.



Content Owner



Similarly, we show the last 5 published videos of channels belonging to the content owner. In order to see realtime data, content owners must select the “All partner uploaded” option from the drop-down menu.



Groups



If a video group contains 5 or less videos, realtime data for each video is shown. For video groups with more items and other types of groups (asset, playlist, channel) the report is not available.



Assets, playlists, shows



For the moment, we don’t show realtime data for these entities.



Filters and features



The realtime report does not support filtering or further customization of data. Therefore, the geographic filter, the date picker, the comparison and the download functionalities are disabled in the interface.
