Key metrics about the channel's performance and reach:
Advanced metrics that provide insights into channel performance:
Engagement Rate: Higher percentages (above 5-10%) typically indicate highly engaged audiences. A low engagement rate might suggest passive viewership.
Subscriber-to-View Ratio: This shows what percentage of subscribers typically watch each video. A higher ratio indicates an active subscriber base.
Browse the channel's most recent uploads:
Clicking on any video will open it on YouTube in a new tab.
Problem: The tool displays "Channel not found" after entering a URL or name.
Solution: Double-check your input for typos. Try using a different input format, such as the full channel URL or ID instead of a handle or name.
Problem: The analysis seems to start but then stops without showing results.
Solution: This might be due to a temporary connection issue. Try refreshing the page and attempting the analysis again. If the problem persists, check your internet connection.
Here are some common error messages and what they mean:
| Error Message | Meaning | Solution |
