Video Analysis in Content Hub
Content Hub is the go-to place for holistic content insights, easily accessible for quick and painless content analysis. Content Hub's unified content feed allows you to analyze all profiles (Owned, Public, and Influencer) that you've added to the platform. Filter content using the search bar or advanced search options. For video analysis, filter by items such as Platform, Media Type, and Facebook Video Types (Crosspost, Crosspostable, Live, Shared). Analyze videos with video-specific metrics such as: Video Reach & Views, View Time, and Video Retention. Tip: Create a "Saved search" to easily jump into the same analysis view time and again.
Looking at Video Reach & Views shows total video impressions and reach, and allows you to understand performance at each stage of the video view funnel: from 10-sec video views to completed views. Understand precisely how long people are watching and when they are jumping off. For videos that were posted from several Facebook profiles (so-called crosspostable videos), compare performance on the selected profile vs. performance across all profiles by switching from This Post to All Posts.
Diving into View Time gives you insights into the total view time, average time watched, and allows you to dig into countries or audience demographics. Again, for crosspostable Facebook videos, you can compare performance on the selected profile vs. performance across all profiles by switching from This Post to All Posts.
The third option, View Retention, is a great way to learn more about view patterns of Facebook Videos. With an interactive chart that evolves as you hit the video play button, identify what the audience is responding to, spot spikes, drops, and see exactly when people stop watching.
