Today’s post covers how to see who is currently viewing your Facebook live video and the views your Facebook video gets once published. We’ll also cover how you can go live on Facebook and engage your audience. So, why don’t you stick around, and let’s get started!
Who Viewed My Facebook Video?
You probably love posting videos on Facebook to keep your account active or entertain your Facebook audience. You may wish to see who views these videos when posting them, right? So, how can you tell which Facebook account viewed your videos? Unfortunately, Facebook has no feature to let you analyze who viewed your videos. Such a feature would require intense resources, and if your video has many viewers, listing them out would be resource intensive on the side of Facebook. What Facebook does instead is to show the total views that your video gets. Therefore, if you need to monitor the progress of your Facebook page, you can use the total views for each video. There is one window, though, that you can use to see who views your video, and it involves checking the viewers during Facebook live.
Who Viewed My Facebook Live Video?
The thing with going live is that you may not get as many viewers as a posted video for the first minutes. However, if you’ve shared the Facebook live link to your other social media platforms, you can get multiple viewers. Besides, going live is a great way of engaging with your audience as they can interact with you. When you are live on Facebook, you get notifications whenever someone new joins the live stream. The notification highlights the name of the new viewer, provided you guys are friends on Facebook. If the person is not your Facebook friend, you can only see their name when commenting or liking your video. Still, that’s an ideal way of knowing who viewed your video. Even though Facebook live doesn’t give so many details on who viewed your video, it offers a window to know when your Facebook friends tune in. You can take this further by looking at your video’s statistics once the live stream ends. To do so, follow the steps below. Hopefully, the two metrics give an insight into how your Facebook video performed even without knowing the exact people that viewed the video.
