Media Audience Analytics

Explore viewer engagement data for any video.

Written by Hanna

The media Audience page (formerly "Conversions") includes identified and anonymous viewers, viewer touchpoints, and viewer-level heatmaps.

Note

This page shows viewers of one video. To see viewers across your whole account, refer to Viewer Analytics.

To access the Audience analytics page for a video, open the video's Manage page, click "Analytics", then select "Audience".

Open the video's Manage page and click "Analytics".

On the Analytics page, open the "Audience" tab.

Choose a date range, then filter by viewer type: all, identified, or anonymous.

Identified viewers are people Wistia can link to an email address, such as through a form or an email platform integration.

Anonymous viewers have not been identified yet. Each one gets a unique ID, and the table shows the last 6 characters of that ID.

Explore viewing activity

Each heatmap shows what the viewer watched, skipped, and rewatched during the date range you chose. Heatmaps also mark interactions with Forms, CTAs, and annotation links. Click a heatmap to open it next to the video and its transcript.

Audience touchpoints

To see a viewer's activity across your account, click the magnifying glass icon next to their name in the audience table.

Their contact card shows:

  • Contact details, for identified viewers

  • Their total number of touchpoints

  • A timeline of their activity across videos and webinars, in order

  • For anonymous viewers, their first activity and their "Last" activity

A touchpoint is recorded when a viewer:

  • Watches a video

  • Submits a form on a video

  • Registers for a webinar

  • Attends a webinar

Note

Each interaction adds to the viewer's touchpoint total, which covers a rolling 2-year window.

Video and webinar views in the activity timeline

Each video view and webinar view in the timeline includes that viewer's heatmap. Form submissions, webinar registrations, and webinar attendance each have their own icon, so you can quickly tell activity types apart.

Tip

To learn more about reading heatmaps, see our heatmaps overview.
