Wistia Analytics .
This is the good stuff .
This is where you can really prove the value of your videos .
This is an engagement graph .
It shows you how your audience is interacting with your video .
A spike like this means that viewers are rewatching .
But a nasty drop off like this means you've lost your audience's attention .
Wistia also tracks how every person watches your video second by second .
This is the view stream, which is a live look at how folks are watching all of your videos .
Each video view has its own heat map, showing what each viewer watched, rewatched, or skipped around in your video .
Now, if you're using marketing automation software, you're going to love this next part .
