📈 Creators: your views are about to grow!
YouTube will count a view when playback starts (even if viewers leave immediately) across Shorts, videos, and live streams. Monetization still uses qualified views.
💡 Pro tip: check your Restream Analytics for insights.
Starting 8/24, views will count the moment a video begins to play (w/ no minimum watch time) across all formats (VOD, Shorts, & Live). We’re standardizing views to reflect creators’ true exposure across YouTube, making it easier to show their value to brand partners.

Big thanks to the Rumble team and @ric_rac for building the technical foundation that made it possible.
