YouTube – When Does YouTube Update Channel Views?

youtube

After 4 days my videos are gaining views. However, the total views on my channel has stayed the same. When does YouTube update the views for the channel? Is it every week?

Best Answer

View count information for your video in the trailer location may be different than what you see on the watch page or in YouTube Analytics due to differences in timing of data updates in each location. source

We want to make sure that all views are validated so during this process the views update less frequently and might occasionally freeze above 300 views to assure quality view count. This is the normal operation in YouTube videos. source

We've noticed a lot of you reporting issues with your view counts not updating correctly over the past couple days. I wanted to let you all know that we're currently investigating this issue and hope to have it resolved soon.

In the meantime, you can check your current and accurate viewcount by going to your Analytics page and checking the stats for the video you want.

If you haven't tried it before, you can access Analytics by following these steps:

1) Click on your username in the top right

2) Click on Video Manager

3) Click on Analytics at the top of the page

Views on Analytics are accurate and should display the most up-to-date snapshot of a video's views.

Typically, however, there are times when you might notice your view counts slowing or temporarily freezing.

If you're still not seeing what look like accurate and current counts on Analytics, be sure to try Insight as well. You can find it at http:// www.youtube.com/my_videos_insight. source

.

Analytics views data is updated once a day, which means that the numbers displayed in these reports may differ from the public values displayed on the video page, channel page, Video Manager, or other sources.

If your public video viewcount is frozen at 301+, and the value is different than the count displayed in YouTube Analytics, this may be the result of our viewcount validation process. source

Finally the update time of the views for the channel is not announced officially yet so it is unknown.
