YouTube is changing the way you tell the opinions in YouTube shorts to give creators a deeper understanding of how its content is being done short, the company announced Wednesday.
The short -haired views will now count that the short of a creator begins to play or reproduce.
In the past, a view had been counted after a short was seen for a certain number of seconds. As a result of this change, views will be higher in the future.
Youtube says he is making the change because he heard that creators want to understand how often their shorts are seen. The idea is that creators can now show better the total scope of their scope, which facilitates informing their content strategy and presenting their work to possible brand members.
With this update, YouTube Shorts will now align its metrics with those of Tiktok and Instagram reelsin which they track the number of times your video begins or repeats. YouTube points out that creators can now better understand how their videos are working short on multiple platforms.
The creators who are still interested in the original shorts metric can see it sailing “Advanced mode” within YouTube Analytics. The metric, now called “Committed Views”, will continue to allow creators to see how many spectators choose to continue watching their shorts.
YouTube points out that the change will not affect the profits of the creators or how they become eligible for the YouTube partners program, since both factors will continue to be based on compromised views instead of the updated metric.
The change enters into force on March 31.
