More about Video Engagement Rate

Video Engagement Rate can help you track the extent to which your video impressions are making an impact. To calculate this metric, divide the total number of Video Engagements by the total number of Video Impressions. Usually expressed as a percentage, this number when low can be a useful indicator that your video ad may not be capturing your audience even if you manage to have a large reach. To improve your Video Engagement Rate, pay attention to trends over time and ensure that you have a call-to-action in your video and video promotional posts and material.
