YouTube Launches Realtime Analytics

YouTube has added realtime analytics to its creator dashboard. The new Realtime report shows estimated views data for the last 5 published videos. The data is also available when looking at reports for any individual videos. These reports provide early insights into the performance, so that creators can adjust their  promotion strategy.

Creators can now see two graphs for every video:

• Hour-by-hour data is available for a sliding window of 2 days (“Last 48 hours”)
• Minute-by-minute data is available for a sliding window of 1 hour (“Last 60 mins”)

For now, the new features does not show realtime analytics for assets, playlists or shows, but Google is hinting that may be added in the near future.
