How are Twitter video views counted?

What metric is used for the View count? The main Twitter video view metric is triggered when a user watches a video for at least 2 seconds and sees at least 50% of the video player in-view. This applies to View metrics for both uploaded videos and live broadcasts.

re. Twitter and the viewer count:

If someone watches for 2-seconds, then tick.

Good point. Thanks for bringing some sanity by context to this.

There are more phones than TVs, or at least there could be.

Further, no matter how truly “viewed” it might be, not all those views are fans. Some hate his guts, some just don’t prefer Trump. But they want to watch it. That does not translate into votes, especially at General time.

Personally I can’t stomach watching pure enemies so I won’t watch Dem debates, but many people will watch the enemy.
