More about Video Impressions

Video Impressions can help you understand how much reach your video ad has. Although different from Video Views, which is the number of times your video has been started and watched for more than 3 seconds, Impressions is a useful metric to validate your content marketing strategy. Video Impressions are gained anytime a user comes across your video in their feed or through any other channel. One way to increase this number is to have an eye-catching thumbnail and a relevant video title. On many social media platforms, videos generally auto-play which could then be counted as a video view if the user watches for more than 3 seconds.
