So, what exactly counts as a video view? Let’s break it down. A video view is pretty straightforward: it’s when someone watches it. This can happen in two ways: either they click on your video to play it, or it starts playing automatically as they scroll through their feed. Both count towards your view tally.

Now, here’s where it gets specific. Facebook considers a “view” to be when your video has been watched for at least three seconds. Yup, just three seconds! That’s the magic number. So, if someone pauses for those crucial three seconds, you’ve got yourself a view.

Want to double-check your view count? It’s super easy. Just head over to your post insights. Click on the post you’re curious about, and you’ll see a breakdown of your views. The 3-second views metric should match up with the view count on your timeline. And voila, you’re all set!
