Does it count as a view if you watch your own video?
Each time a viewer intentionally initiates the playing of a video on their device and watches for at least 30 seconds, that counts as a view. Pretty simple! If you play your own video, that will be counted as a view. If a viewer watches your video more than once, each screening will be counted as a new view.
