Tracking Video Watch Time

[nick_oehler]

Hello All,

Does anyone know how to track a user's time spent watching a video? On my site, I have been uploading video's and while I can see how many people actually visit the page containing the videos, I'm not able to see how long someone stays on the page. Ideally, I'd like to be able to see what videos are watched and well as how much of the video is watched since I have a common page with various videos. I'm not publishing my content to YouTube and in doing some limited research, it looks like with YouTube the channel admin can see these results. 

I have Google Analytics in place to show my site's data in a variety of different options however there is no metric for watch time. Hoping that others have figured this out, or that some dev time might be in the works to provide this metric.

Thanks in advance for replying,

Nick

Don't know how important Video is to you but I have been using https://www.weebly.com/app-center/iplayerhd# for almost a year - note that I have no connection to them other than being a satisfied customer!!

Yes - I pay $9.99 every month but well worth it - awesome player, awesome hosting of vids and never had a glitch of any sort.

Analytics.....

This appears on dashboard...

And this is available for each seperate video as a download in csv format...

Below is the main window that is on the Dashboard.  The Bandwidth useage re-sets to zero on the 1st of every month...

So how and when are the stats made available for me to see who is watching and for how long?

I'm using the simple video editor for my Weebly Website. You can try the apks file or kinemaster softeware for your video editing.
