Even if you later remove a video, its play history is preserved so you never lose that data. ## Cover Video Intelligence Cover videos require 3 seconds of watch time before counting as a play. This ensures your stats reflect genuine engagement, not just page loads from autoplay. * * * Video Play Tracking is available now for all Business plan members.  Questions?
