Now I’m going to tell you what features it has and how they can help you:
You can see your top shorts based on likes, comments, and shares. As you’ll be able to find what video performed the best, based on that you can present a fresh plan or make changes to the old one. Or maybe upload more similar content to check if they perform that well or not.
With this feature, you can check on average how long people stay on your short before they scroll further. With this in mind, you can create videos of a particular duration. You might ask what extent will this help.
Well, if you’ll be able to show your talent or whatever in that time people will watch the whole thing before they can scroll. In the graph below, you can find the video length with the most views.
This is important because based on this you can figure out a couple number of things. You can see from where the viewer stumbled upon your video, was it suggested, shared, or searched? You can use relevant keywords and hashtags as it will increase your visibility.
Don’t you want to know how many times your short appears on someone’s feed? Well, you can do that, this feature allows you to monitor and evaluate what factors are affecting your short to not appear on others’ feeds.
You can create unique thumbnails, better calls to attention, introductions, and follow YouTube’s guidelines to increase your show feed.
