Way to gather the analytics data on the videos embedded on the Confluence pages

Question

We frequently embed videos on the Confluence pages but have no way to track their consumption such as total number of views, average views duration, bounce rate and so on. Can I get some idea how to gather such data? Please note I am not including those YouTube videos embedded on the Confluence pages. They are separately tracked and monitored via YouTube Studio.

Hi Kristina,

We have some videos embedded directly into Confluence, and some are first hosted on YouTube and then embedded into Confluence.

Hello @Subhajit Sengupta

Can't you track the video views from the tool where the videos are hosted? (Providing that I got the meaning of embedded - videos are hosted elswhere and you simply embed them on a Confluence page).

There's also Google Analytics in Conluence app by David Simpson Apps that should make it possible.

Hi @Subhajit Sengupta

Sadly no. Confluence Cloud doesn't have any way to track the embedded videos' views or if someone clicks on them.

Several plugins can do that. Some analytics plugins can be helpful.
