Frequently asked questions
Does Video Analytics require access to the channel's private data?
No — it uses only public YouTube Data API fields and AI inference. You can analyze any public video, including competitors'.
What does the retention pattern insight actually show?
It's an AI inference based on content structure signals (pacing, topic shifts, CTA placement), not raw view-duration data from YouTube Studio.
Can I analyze videos from platforms other than YouTube?
The current version focuses on YouTube. TikTok and other platforms are on the roadmap.
