Video Tracking

Parse.ly’s Video Tracking brings video metrics into the Parse.ly Dashboard, including video starts, visitors (video-specific), total minutes watched, and average watch time.

Note

Video Tracking must first be purchased before integrating it with your site. Reach out to your Relationship Manager for more details and assistance.

Overview tab

On the Overview tab, a video badge will be seen on any listed posts that contain a video. This badge includes the play rate metric.

Overview can also be customized to set the Timeline Metric to Video Starts.

Posts/Pages tab

Similar to Overview, the Posts/Pages page displays a video badge for posts listed that contain a video.

Posts/Pages can be toggled to focus on videos, which will filter the tab to display video metrics and details.

Post details page

When Video Tracking is integrated, the “Videos played on this page” section is included on individual post details pages.

Video details page

Clicking an individual video from anywhere in the Dashboard takes you to that video’s details page. Here, similar to the post details page, the “Pages with this video” section lists content that includes the video.

Reports

The Top Performers report and Top Performers Export can be configured to focus on video metrics. When creating either of these, select the “Video” aspect.
