Part 3/7:
View Duration measures how long viewers engage with your content. For optimal impact, you should aim for a view duration of 95% or higher. To achieve viral status, targeting 150% to 200% is ideal, as this indicates that viewers are re-watching your video multiple times. The frequency of viewership is a strong signal to YouTube about the quality and engagement level of your content.
Shorter videos (around 20 seconds) necessitate a higher view duration, while longer videos (45 to 60 seconds) can afford a slightly lower target but should still aspire for at least 90%.
