Unique viewers data
See unique viewers and their average views
You can use "Unique viewers" data to see unique viewers and get a clearer picture of your audience size, or the estimated number of different people who came to watch your videos over a given time period. Whether they watch on desktop or mobile, or watch more than once, that person counts as one unique viewer. The data is provided as an estimate.
The data measures the total reach of a video by accounting for cases when people may watch content on different devices or when multiple people share the same device. The system includes data from all devices and includes both signed in and signed out traffic to estimate the number of viewers.
To ensure data quality, the total number of unique viewers is available for time periods of up to 90 days. You can compare different 90-day timeframes to see changes over time. Data for unique viewers is available from August 1, 2017.
De-duplicating repeat views
To calculate unique viewers, we use statistical models that account for user behavior to de-duplicate the audience across sessions, devices, and networks. For example, if the same viewer watches some videos from your channel over a few days, a unique viewer would be counted for every video they watched, but they would only count as one unique viewer for the channel.
