How Do I See Who Viewed My Instagram Videos?

/16 December, 2022 4:28 pm

Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri recently announced that the app would no longer function as a photo-sharing service until the summer of 2021. Since Instagram is mostly used for entertainment, the emphasis is shifting to video, he said.

This shift necessitates that small businesses use social media to establish and interact with their audience and create video content to keep up.

Developing video content is one thing, but what comes next? How do you determine if others are observing you or if your efforts are in vain?

This tutorial explains how to view Instagram video views.

The Instagram app divides video content into three primary categories:

  • Stories
  • Reels
  • Video posts. (IGTV is not a feature anymore.)

First, we’ll examine ordinary video postings and Reels. At this time, it’s not able to identify every IG account that sees a video post or Reel. Moreover, Instagram does not release this information for two compelling reasons.

1. Information overabundance:

Videos and reels frequently receive hundreds, thousands, or even millions of views. Imagine how sluggish and unreliable the presentation of the list of persons would be in this case.

2. Privacy:

Many casual users view videos and Reels involuntarily because the algorithm delivered them without their permission. Users may not wish for their accounts to be associated with all videos they encounter.

You can still view your videos’ views, likes, and comments.

You may access metrics through your profile and the Instagram insights page. You can easily see how many individuals have watched your videos or Reels by going to your profile and checking the stats.

  • View your profile from the IG homepage.
  • To examine the stats for your video posts, navigate to the new Video tab in your profile: You will be able to view the overall number of views for each of your videos from this page.
  • Follow the same procedure for Reels views, however for step 1, navigate to the Reels tab. If you wish to view all engagement numbers, you must navigate to the post insights area.
  • You need to use an IG business account or convert your personal account into a company profile before you can see post analytics (professional/creative).
  • Then, follow the steps below:
  • Visit the post you wish to view insights for and click the ellipsis symbol (Settings).
  • Click the View Insights option to navigate to the Insights panel.
  • Here, you can examine the video’s total views, likes, comments, saves, shares, and reach.

The iPhone and Android interfaces may appear slightly different, but the button and label text should be the same.
