What is "Total Views by Video"?
The Total Views by Video metric provides granular insights into the performance of each individual video post on your Instagram account. This metric tracks how many times each video has been viewed for a minimum of 3 seconds, allowing you to identify your top-performing video content and understand what makes certain videos more engaging than others. By analyzing this data, you can discover patterns in your most successful videos, such as optimal video length, content themes, posting times, or visual styles. This detailed view helps you make data-driven decisions about your video content strategy, enabling you to replicate successful elements in future videos and optimize your overall video marketing approach. The metric is particularly valuable for businesses that want to understand which video content drives the most audience engagement and retention.
Example: A fitness brand posts three workout videos in a week. The first video receives 15,000 views, the second gets 8,000 views, and the third achieves 25,000 views. By analyzing the Total Views by Video metric, they discover that the third video (a 30-second HIIT workout) significantly outperformed the others, leading them to create more short, high-intensity workout content.
