Great piece of work here!

Has anyone tried repurposing this to use with Vimeo? I’m also pondering how one would track vids on external sites using GA, thinking I could regulate distribution of embed code via our partner network as long as it didn’t require too much technical implementation at their end.

Any thoughts much appreciated.

Hi Chris,

The Insight data does show embedded plays, and where the video is embedded. But it doesn’t contain any information about how much content was viewed or how the visitor interacted with the player. If you’re using your own video player, and you want to understand how visitors are interacting with the content and player, then event tracking is the way to go. Using Insights is a great way to understand how the community is using the content.

Thanks for the great comment.

Is this needed anymore?

I noticed that Insights now CLAIMS to show embedded plays as well.

The reason I’m thinking about using your method is because I have my doubts about the accuracy of the view counts Insights shows me.

Thanks again for another great post. I have done a little with YouTube, but haven’t had the time for much more than a few videos showing how Electronic Business Cards impact sales and the like. This encourages me to push forward.
