How to view video analytics in Media Studio
We know how important it is to track the performance of your efforts on Twitter. There are three methods for viewing video analytics today: directly within the Media Studio library, using the Video Analytics Dashboard, or our new Business Manager (requires whitelisting).
How to view analytics for a particular video
- Click on a video within your Media Studio library.
- The metrics Video Views, Completion Rate, and Average Watch Time will be shown in the opened window.
- For more advanced analytics, click the More Analytics button.
- Select a date range using the filter at the top right (which defaults to a 7 day view).
- The window will now show the following metrics:
- Total Views
- Organic Views
- Promoted Views
- Video Completion Rate
- Average Watch Time
- Country of viewership
- Platform of viewership (iOS, Android, Web, etc.)
- Tip: Metrics are aggregated by video, not by Tweet. If you have Tweeted the same video multiple times, we add up all metrics across those Tweets within this view).
How to view high-level analytics for your account
- Click the Analytics dropdown within the top navigation bar.
- Click Video Analytics, which will open a new browser window.
- Use the date filter at the top-right of the page to specify the desired time range. Changing dates within this filter affects all data shown on the dashboard and exports.
- View various types of analytics:
- Top-level graph – shows data from all videos that have earned views during the set time range (not just those videos Tweeted during that time).
- Right-side graphs – shows data from all videos that have earned views during the set time range (not just those videos Tweeted during that time).
- Content list – shows data from all videos that have been Tweeted for the first time during the set time range.
- Export the information via the Export data button next to the date filter.
Tip: use the downloaded .CSV file to calculate additional metrics as desired.

Business Manager FAQs
No, your Twitter account manager will have to create the business. Before contacting your account manager, assemble a list of all of the accounts you would like to see in your business. Then provide the accounts of those users who would act as Administrators (this will also give them full administrative access to every Media Studio account within the business).
If your account is in a business, you will be able to navigate to Business Manager but will only be able to view aggregated metrics for those accounts you have access to. Only Business Administrators or accounts that have access to all accounts in the business will be able to view analytics for the entire business.
