Users must have the View Insights dashboard, contacts, and generate reports permission enabled.

When you connect a Facebook account to Vidyard, it allows you and other users in your account to share videos directly to pages that the account manages.

When followers watch videos shared to your Facebook page, you'll also receive view counts in Vidyard alongside the rest of your video analytics. You can find Facebook view counts reflected in the View Locations graph in the Insights Dashboard.

Requirements

What data does Vidyard receive from Facebook?

Vidyard receives view counts from Facebook when a video shared to your page meets the following criteria:

  1. The video has at least 30 likes
  2. The video has been watched for a duration of 95% or greater
  3. Views have been generated from registered users (i.e. users must be signed in to Facebook when they watch a video)
Note: The above criteria for view counts are requirements set by Facebook's APIs.
