YouTube Metrics
Updated 2 months ago
YouTube channel data is organic and some metrics may not be available during the last 2-3 days.
Remember that the number of subscribers will only be available from the day the account was connected to Metricool, and it will take approximately 7 days to gather all the metrics from the first connection.
Below, you’ll find all the available metrics for your YouTube channel.
For date ranges, comparisons, charts, and CSV exports, see How to use and explore the Analytics tab.
If you hover over the arrow icon next to the numbers, it will show you the variation of the current period with respect to the previous period. For example, if you select a week, the result will compare to the previous 7 days.
Starting August 24, 2026, YouTube changed how it counts views for long-form videos and live streams, using the same no-minimum-watch-time method already applied to Shorts. You'll see an increase in the view counts in the Community, Published videos, Viewed videos, and Competitors sections. Read YouTube's announcement for details.
