YouTube adds realtime analytics
By Chris Cooke | Published on Tuesday 23 September 2014
Google has added realtime analytics to its YouTube video manager dashboard, giving content owners the option to see how well videos are performing at any one moment in time, so if you’ve just paid someone to artificially bump up your YouTube stats, you can see if they’re doing their job. No, I’ve no idea what I’m talking about either.
The new realtime reporting tab on the video dashboard enables content owners to see how well their vids have performed hour-by-hour in the last 48 hours and minute-by-minute in the last sixty minutes. The new functionality comes in response to calls from content owners for more up-to-date data, and Google promises to add future real-time functionality down the line.
So, YouTube channel managers, go enjoy your constantly refreshing analytic charts. Though don’t get too distracted and forget to create any new content.
