audience engagement
Crowd interaction metrics
Audience engagement is the degree to which viewers, readers, or listeners actively participate with content rather than passively consuming it.
Metrics like comments, shares, watch time, and click-through rates measure engagement.
Content creators and marketers pursue it relentlessly: The video's audience engagement dropped off after the first thirty seconds.
High engagement signals that content resonates—people aren't just present, they're invested.
