Let me ask you a question. Do you use the YouTube Studio App to monitor your channel on the go? Post

Let's take a look at the YouTube Studio dashboard screen. You've got the dashboard, which shows you
your analytics, watch time, views, subscriber change, and your estimated revenue, all within
the last 28 days. If you tap view more, you will be able to see the channel analytics overview.
You also got your latest video performance. You've got the ranking by views. You've got
the number of views that the video's got. You've got your average view duration, which is basically
the same as watch time, like how much engagement you got for the video. You've got your watch time,
so how much time was people watching the video. You've also got your videos and if you click

Now we're going to take a look at the channel analytics overview. This is going to show an

Canada, United Kingdom, and Germany. The next tab is the discovery tab. Under discovery tab, you've
got the impressions, which is where your thumbnail is surfaced to other people's watch pages.
You've got the impressions click-through rate, which is where people have clicked

playlists manually. The next tab is the channel comments tab where you can reply to comments.
Just use the YouTube Studio app on you phone. You can reply to comments, like the comments,
dislike the comments, heart the comments. If you click on the three dots next to the comments,
then you can remove the comment, report as spam, hide the user from the channel. You can also
check the comments that are held for review. If you see a number on the top right of your
screen in the dashboard, this is the number of push notifications that you received.
If you tap it then you'll be able to see all the comments that you need to reply to.
If you tap the three lines on the screen in notifications, this will clear all your
notifications. You can also set notifications for all your comments, you can set up to receive
all comments, report the comments or no comments. You can also enable push notifications.
The next tab is your channel videos. Here you've got your uploads and your live streams.
You can sort them by most recent, most viewed, visibility such as public, private, unlisted,

Now if you want to check an individual video performance or edit the video,
then you can just tap on the video and the video performance, we've got ranking by views,
we've got the number of views, average view duration, and watch time.
If you see these little green icons with the arrows pointing up, that means this video is
doing better than the previous video. Under average view duration, this is beating the
previous video and watch time and getting a higher watch time than my previous video.
If you tap on video analytics, it'll take you to the analytics for that specific video. If you tap
the pencil icon, then you can edit the video. You can edit the title, you can edit the description.
You can change the visibility from public to private,
et cetera. You can change monetization from on to off.
You can check if it's made for kids, not made for kids. You can add the video to a
playlist and you can also add or change the tags. You can also edit the thumbnail on your phone.
All you have to do is to upload a particular thumbnail to your phone, then change it or
replace it with the one that's on your phone. You can also check the individual analytics
for that particular video. On the overview tab, you see the real-time views. You got watch time,
number of views for that video, your estimated revenue for the video, audience retention, likes,
top traffic sources, which is like YouTube search, external browse features, notifications.
Then if you tap on any of these boxes like audience retention,
then it'll give you a more detailed view. In this audience retention here, you can see the graph,
it gets you the average view duration, average percentage viewed. This video got 40.3%
average percentage viewed. That's a pretty good watch time for this particular video.
Next, we go to the individual video analytics discovery tab. In this discovery tab,
you see the number of impressions, impressions click-through rate, your traffic source types,
the top external sources for this particular video.
We've also got the top YouTube search terms for this particular video
and then also the search terms that are being suggested for this video. We also
got top playlists that are playing this video. We can also go to the Audience tab for individual
video analytics. We check the audience, which is gender, age, top geographies,
top subtitles, and closed captions. The top geographies for this video is India
because we're talking about the Shorts videos, where YouTube rolled out Shorts videos to India.
We also have interactive content for an individual video. This is a teaser clicks
per card teaser shown, the clicks per card shown, and the clicks per clickable annotation shown.
If a viewer makes it to the end of the video and clicks and watches the next video,
that's a good sign that you're getting a high watch time for this particular video.
Now, another thing you can do with the YouTube Studio app is turn on dark mode if you're on
Android, and change it to dark mode by using the settings on your camera if you're on iOS. The
whole purpose of turning on dark mode is that you reduce the glare and improve the night viewing.
On Android, you turn on the dark theme under settings. You got light here and you got dark.
In iOS, you just go to the camera settings, look for display brightness, and select dark.
Here you got the dark mode, showing notifications, and appearance. Let's
take a look at some of the best practices when viewing your analytics on the YouTube Studio
app. YouTube says you can increase the chance of YouTube suggesting your content by increasing your
click-through rate and your video watch time. If you get a high click-through rate and a
high watch time, that's actually the best for getting your video suggested on other people's
watch pages. You should also aim for a high click-through rate that's between 2% and 10%, the
higher the better. If you get over 10% for your click-through rate, there is a high probability
that your video will do well and suggested. Just keep in mind that you often get a high
click-through rate when your subscribers watch your video when it first goes out of the gate.
Later on, when your videos surface to a wider audience, then your click-through rate drops,
and then it might rise again as it surfaced to other people's videos.
You also want to double down on high performing videos. If you get a lot of traffic for your
videos, then you want to double down on that particular video by creating another video that
approaches a topic from a different angle. You can also improve your watch time and session time
by creating a video series. Session time refers to how long somebody stays on the YouTube platform.
So if they're binge-watching a series of your videos, then people will stay longer
on the YouTube platform. You also want to keep viewers coming back for more of your content
by making videos on topics that they're interested in. If you get a high traffic video,
try to approach the topic from a different angle so your viewers will come back to
watch more of your content on your channel. If you want to learn more about how to use
