Pages That Reshare Facebook Videos Are Losing Access to Some Metrics

Video creators didn't want resharing pages to be able to see certain metrics on those videos

Facebook announced a revamp of the insights it shares with video creators and publishers on reshares of their videos, as well as with the pages doing the resharing.

The social network said in a blog post that the changes were made based on feedback from creators, which sought more information on pages resharing their videos, but did not want the resharing pages to be able to access certain metrics about those videos.

Resharing pages also expressed interest in being able to determine how much engagement reshared videos were generating.

Starting this week, pages that reshare videos will no longer have access to the retention graph, average watch time, 30-second views and detailed breakdowns of views (auto-play, click-to-play, unique and repeat visitors).
