Video and live streaming statistics

Statistics data is collected only when you use the standard player. The Reports page shows information about videos and live streams: viewers, their browsers and operating systems, geography, popular videos (only for the Video page), as well as URLs of pages that host a player with your video. The data is updated every five minutes and stored for one year. You can check reports for all videos and live streams or only for a single one. To see overall statistics: 1. In the Gcore Customer Portal, navigate to Streaming > Reports. 2. Choose the relevant subsection: Built-in player: VOD or Built-in player: Live. 2. Select the preferred interval (24 hours, 48 hours, week, or month) and dates. 3. Choose one or more parameters: Browsers, Geography, Hosts, OS, or Viewers.

Billing statistics
VoD plans calculate the total duration of all videos uploaded to the Video Streaming. Let’s say, for example, that one day, you upload 50 minutes of video. On the next, you upload 100 minutes of video and then delete the first video. You will be billed for 150 minutes of video.
