When you click the CTR stat next to a video in the Studio Dashboard, it tells you some details about your videoΓÇÖs CTR.
My question is about the times it says something like ΓÇ£your viewers are watching for less time than your other videosΓÇ¥. It seems that this is based on length of time and not % of video watched.
For example, if I upload 4 videos that are 4 mins long each, and the average view duration is 1 minute, people on average watched 25% of those videos. However, if my 5th video is only 2 minutes long and the view duration stays at 1 minute, people are actually watching 50% of my video, a huge improvement.
It seems to me that the ΓÇ£average view durationΓÇ¥ measured in seconds/minutes is not relevant really unless all your videos are exactly the same length? Am I missing something?
