YouTube just announced a number of updates that will allow video creators to see more in-depth analytics for how users are watching their videos. YouTube’s analytics now, for example, put a stronger emphasis on audience engagement and allow publishers to see an estimate of how many minutes a video was watched in total.
Another feature YouTube power users will appreciate is the service’s new-found ability to compare trends and patterns across two different metrics.
With this update, YouTube is also introducing a few small design changes to Analytics, including an easier to use data slider for selecting date ranges, as well as video hovercards that allow you to see a thumbnail of your video and some basic information about it when you hover over a link.
Google launched the current incarnation of YouTube Analytics, which replaces YouTube Insight, last November.
