    • Total visits - the number of times the embedded player loaded on a page
    • Total plays - the number of times a viewer actually started to play the embedded recording 
    • Play rate - the total plays divided by total visits, shown as a percentage
    • Average playtime - the average amount of time watched per play
    • Average engagement - the average percentage of the recording that viewers watched
    • Top country - the country where the recording was played the most
    • Visits - total visits plotted over the selected time range 
    • Plays - total plays plotted over the selected time range 
    • Locations - total plays per location based on the selected time range
    • Engagement - a retention curve across the recording's timeline. At each point it shows what share of viewers are still watching; where the line falls is where people dropped off, and spikes mean a section people re-watched. 
    • Top countries - audience broken down by country, as a percentage of plays

  • Embed analytics only start counting from when you create the embed.
  • Deleting the original recording in Riverside does not break a live embed. Existing embeds keep playing.
