The Watch Page provides a complete viewing experience for your audience, whether they are students, parents, or other teachers.
More importantly, because viewing is happening on this page instead of on Google Drive, we’re able to collect viewer analytics and share those important insights with you!
When you share your video, the Watch Page is the page where your users will watch your video (hence the name!)
Clicking on the "Copy Share Link" button in the top right-hand corner will produce a unique watch page URL that you can share anywhere you'd like!
Additionally, depending on the privacy settings you have selected from the Video Watch Page, this will allow you to collect analytics data about who has seen your video, how often, and when. The default share settings are "Anyone with the link," and viewer tracking is set to "Track by email."
When users access the Watch Page link, they will see the video in a new browser tab where they can play, pause, rewind, replay, and mute the video. Depending on the privacy settings you have selected, they may also be asked to sign in to watch the video. This will allow the views of your video to be tracked in your Viewer Analytics.
If you choose to have someone sign in to watch the video so you can collect analytics, the Watch Page will display the user's profile in the top right, the title of the video in the bottom left, and feature the video in the center.
