Stream Video Views
To add to what Amit said in terms of deeper statistics / view trends...
We'll be first working on adding to Stream a trend of views/vistoros overtime along with a drop off chart showing which part of a video people watched (and didn't watch).
(We'll be doing this work first to match what we have already in this regaurd in O365 Video so we can sooner transition customers from O365 Video to Stream.)
For "Who viewed the video" we hear this quite often but aren't working on it yet. When we pick up this project in the future we'll have to be careful on how we build it and what we expose. There are some restrictions in EU work council's on what can be tracked about individuals.
As Amit mentioned... it would be helpful if you added yoru ideas around deeper statistics, view counts, and who watched a video as new ideas in the Stream ideas forum. I just took a look and didn't see these ideas tracked there yet. If you add your ideas as seperate items others can vote and comment on them as well.

Checking on my final number of views, I noticed something different, when I open the video it states the number of views 220 and increases it by 221. If I close the video after only a few sentences, the number goes back to 220 when I next open it.
If I watch a substantial part of the video, not all, it increases the number by 1, 220 to 221 and that new number appears when I next open the video.
Good news and bad news, the video tells me how many persons watched the video almost to the end, it does not tell me how many people clicked on the link, which is something I would like to know.
Some questions for you
- What percentage of the video do you need to watch to get the view number to increase?
- Is there an adjustment we can make to video settings, when loaded, to record the numbers of persons who opened the file?
Suzanne_U [At the time of writing this] Stream counts a viewer after watching a specific amount of time. Once that has been hit, you will see the view count get raised, however after it is sent to the service, it removes duplicates, and the view count increment on the video only increases if the same user hasn't watched in the last 24 hours to prevent. So when you go back to the video, and it goes back to 220, it is probably because you have watched it in the last 24 hours, so you were already counted.
For your second question, currently today we do not log how many impressions were made on the video, just he video count. If that is something you'd like to see in the future, please add it to the ideas forum.
Hi, I was wondering if the whole organisation are viewing a video on the same IP address does it only show up as 1 view like on some other platforms?
many thanks
