Answer
To track user interactions with embedded videos using Looker Studio, you first need to ensure that these interactions are being captured in Google Analytics 4 (GA4) or another data source. Once the data is collected, you can visualize it in Looker Studio by connecting to your data source and creating a report.
- Ensure video interaction events are tracked in GA4 or your data source (e.g., using Google Tag Manager to send events).
- Sign in to Looker Studio and create a new report or open an existing one.
- Connect to your data source containing video interaction data (e.g., GA4).
- Use charts and tables to visualize video interaction metrics like play, pause, and complete.
Additional Comment:
- Ensure that your GA4 property is set up to capture video events, either through automatic video tracking or custom event setup in Google Tag Manager.
- In Looker Studio, you can use filters and calculated fields to refine and analyze video interaction data.
- Consider using time-based charts to visualize trends in video interactions over time.
