Views
The number of times a video, Short, or live stream has been watched, counted by the platform's playback rules.
Definition
Views are the total count of times a video, Short, or live stream has been watched, based on the platform's own playback rules (for standard videos, roughly 30 seconds of active watch time counts as a view on YouTube). Views are the most visible currency of the platform: they anchor social proof, drive ad revenue for monetized channels, and feed the algorithm's initial performance signal. Views alone are not the full picture, though; watch time, retention, and engagement decide how far each view actually travels.
