You'll notice your Stats page looks a bit different now. It got a facelift, yes, but it also got some pretty nifty improvements that go beyond just looks ;)
With the
Skips & Rewinds
Split, you can now break down how viewers engage with your content by analyzing skips and rewinds separately. This means clearer insights into the parts of your video that need attention. Our new
Dual Segments
feature lets you pick up to two segments at once, giving you a more detailed breakdown of viewer behavior and preferences. We’ve also added new segments like
Time of Day, Day of Week, URL
, and Tags
to track performance in greater depth. And to top it off, the new Bounce Rate
metric will help you measure how well you’re holding your audience's attention.
📊 Easily Accessible Vid Stats
You can now jump straight into your
Vid Stats
with just one click! We’ve added a new Analytics
menu item to your main sidebar, making it super easy to access stats for any one of your videos, without even having to touch the My Vids page. We’ll take you directly to the video that was updated most recently. 
Checkbox and Hyperlinks on Play Gates
More flexibility? Yes, please! 🙌
You can now add
checkboxes
to your Play Gates for things like terms and conditions or privacy agreements. This gives you more control over compliance while making the viewer experience smoother. Need to link to additional info? Hyperlinks
can now be embedded right within your Play Gates, allowing viewers to access extra resources or documents.
New ActiveCampaign Integration
Integrating ActiveCampaign just got easier 🚀
