Multi-metric analytics studio
Views, watch time, subscribers, engagement and revenue on one zoomable chart, with every number compared to the previous period.
Filter the whole dashboard
Click any country, device, traffic source, format or video and every section recalculates. YouTube does the filtering, so the numbers are real; where YouTube can’t split a report, we say so instead of guessing.

Geography and 3D globe
Top countries and cities, plus an interactive 3D globe of where your views come from.
Traffic and discovery
Which surfaces bring viewers (search, suggested, browse, Shorts feed, external) plus where your videos are played and shared.
Retention and hooks
The audience retention curve for your top video and how well the first 30 seconds hold viewers.
Content performance
Top videos ranked by views and watch time, Shorts versus long-form efficiency, and the best days and hours to publish.
