## Podcast Video Uses YouTube Analytics Data

Triton Digital does not do any calculations on the video data reported in Podcast Video. Podcast Video gets its data directly from the [YouTube API](/user/docs/youtube-api) and pairs it with your metadata. You can configure the videos that Podcast Video reports on in your [YouTube Playlist setup](/user/docs/youtube-playlist-setup#playlist-setup) in Triton Settings.

Note that Podcast Video times are always in **PST** (Pacific Standard Time; UTF-08:00).
