Real-time Report

The real-time report can be used to look at data on estimated views regarding the last 25 videos you published. For channels, this report can also be used to see the entire views for all the videos you have uploaded to your channel. The data included in the real-time report is estimated and merely intended to offer general guidance on prospective view activity on the videos uploaded to your channel. As such, there might be discrepancies in the data shown on the watch page of the videos as views are otherwise validated.

With this report, you will be able to get early insights as to how your most recently uploaded videos are performing and it might assist you in changing their promotion strategy to achieve better results as well. In addition, you will be able to see this data in the reports on your individual videos.
