# Views in Podcast Video

As of August 24, 2026, YouTube changed its policy on metrics for views to align with industry conventions. Triton [Podcast Video](/user/docs/podcast-video) also follows this convention. For more details on YouTube’s policy, see [An update to how we count public views across YouTube](https://support.google.com/youtube/thread/433409976?hl=en) from YouTube.

As of August 24, 2026, Triton Podcast Video provides two different metrics for views of YouTube podcast videos:

- **Engaged Views**: This is a new metric in Podcast Video reports. This shows the number of times that videos were watched after a few seconds. Data for this metric is available for date ranges that include July 1, 2025 and later.
- **Views**: Before August 24, 2026, this metric showed the number of times that videos were watched after 30 seconds. As of August 24, 2026, it shows the number of times that videos were watched from the moment they start playing. Reports that use this metric typically show higher values than **Engaged Views**.
