A ratio showing the number of paid views of a video ad to the number of impressions that were eligible for views.
For example, if you had five views and 1000 impressions, then your view rate would be 0.5%. Here's how it's calculated:
- View rate is similar to click-through rate (CTR), but instead of measuring clicks, it counts people who viewed your video ad after seeing it on YouTube or the Display Network.
- You can use View rate to track the value of your video campaigns on YouTube and the Display Network.
Note: Impressions from non-view eligible formats like bumper ads or non-skippable in-stream ads aren’t counted.
