More specifically, the update brings in 3 new metrics that will let publishers know how their videos are performing on Facebook on specific days.

The new daily breakdowns metrics will indicate:

– Minutes Viewed: The total minutes of watch time spent on the video on a particular day.
– Views: The number of times your video was viewed on a particular day.
– 10-second views: The number of times the video was viewed to 10 seconds on a particular day. (or 97% of the video if shorted than 10 seconds)

The new metrics are already available through Page Insights, and will roll out to the Insights API very soon.
