The YouTube Event Option

DAP has long given web managers the option to track YouTube embeds on their pages, but it’s not always used. We’ll show you how to turn YouTube video tracking on (it’s very easy!). We’ll also show how the data can be used to analyze how long people watch the videos on your pages.

About the speakers

Tim Lowden manages the federal government’s aggregated web analytics initiative, the Digital Analytics Program (DAP), at the General Services Administration (GSA).
