About:
In this video, Nolan shares what average view duration is on YouTube. This audience retention video is explaining what average view duration is and how to improve it.

[HoodedReactions]

I post about 5-10 min videos, trying to go longer. My average view parentage is about 40-50 percent, which I am proud of!

[somycolleaguescantfindme]

Currently my average view duration is only around half of my total video duration. I find that inserting a video hook in the beginning and humors along the way can really help increase the viewer's retention

[TechAuditTV]

Ya'll see what he did there at 0:52? That's called good writing. Just when you think you got it figured out and click off he introduced something that you probably didn't know to keep you hanging around. And THAT is how you boost retention.

People are over here having 5-10 mins of Average View Duration while I'm sitting here with 18 Seconds😂

[MorrissaurusRex]

I have definitely been part of a few Think Media videos’ 100%+ average view duration

[Findingkeeann]

This is why I am subscribed to this channel. Very informative! I will try to create longer videos and see what happens on my channel. Thank you

[anaveragejoe]

To all new youtubers ! Lets grow together in 2021 !

[j-rddle]

I'm here alot but I can't help it, think media has been indispensable for the growth of my channel 25 subs so far even with the slow down due to my move. Thanks think Media

[SavageGothamChess]

Yes thank you so much. I thought this average view duration of over 100% was a glitch or something but now I know.

[josannelochanmd]

Thank you for this info. Nolan especially for beginners like myself. These little tips help me improve by 1% each day...Just keep swimming, just keep swimming...

[matturlacker]

Thanks for the great advice. Getting higher view duration is definitely something I have to work on. Thank you for the free education!

[LizzyOcansey]

Currently my average views is less than a minute and trying to get more subscribers and hits the average views of my videos. Thank u for the video 🥰

[heathylivingwithsometwists]

I needed this video, just started 2 weeks ago thanks

[matchamamaYT]

Took me a while to find “average % viewed” in my analytics. Shorter videos get much higher % as it’s prob easier for pple to watch say <5min video till the end - like this one! 🙃

[binitajalloh]

Oh I love this video… I will definitely implement this within my own YouTube video.

Thank you 🥰🥰🥰

[D.Smith]

I'm definitely focusing on watch time. It seems like the key to growth.

[plussunu]

Finally, someone who explains this in plain English and in less than 10 minutes. Harder and harder to accept 10-15 minutes videos of bla bla bla.. when you can get to the end of it in 2 minutes.

[rohanghosh]

im getting 38, to 46% AVD in my videos 3 to5 min videos is it ok for a 24 days youtube channel?

[theswissgardenvlog]

Very informative, thanks for sharing.

[bluemoney]

Alright. I tried to resist going back and playing it at .25 speed but you got me.
