What Is Video Engagement?
Video engagement is how actively people interact with a video, from how long they watch to whether they click, reply, or share.
Video Engagement
Video engagement measures more than whether a video was opened. It looks at watch time, replays, clicks, and responses to show how much a viewer actually did with the video. A high view count means little if people leave in the first few seconds.
For example, a video with strong engagement holds most viewers to the end and prompts replies.
