Views and engaged views since 24 August 2026

YouTube now counts a view as soon as a video starts to play, and keeps the older count as engaged views. Impressions click-through rate, average view duration and retention are still based on engaged views, and Partner Program eligibility still uses qualified views. So use the figure YouTube Studio shows for each metric, and do not expect views divided by impressions to equal your CTR.
