view count

Watching total displayed

A view count is the number of times something has been watched or accessed online—a video, a webpage, or a post.

Platforms display view counts as measures of popularity or reach: The video hit a million views overnight.

View counts influence algorithms, advertising rates, and perceived credibility, making them a currency of online attention.
