From here, we will introduce some typical cases in detail!

Play multiple times in a short period of time

Even if you play the same video repeatedly in a short period of time with the same account, it may only be counted once.

In other wordsRepeat playbacks and playbacks caused by page updates are not easily reflected in the playback count.That's what it means.

[Example] Refresh the page with the PC's "F5" key and play the video repeatedly, or play the same video many times every few seconds to minutes

Play on mute

It is often said among fans that "mute playback (playback without sound) is difficult to count."

Although it is not officially stated,Play videos at high volumeLet's do it like that.

Don't watch the video until the end

Playbacks that leave after a few seconds may not be counted correctly.

There are no clear standards published as to how many seconds a video must be viewed to be counted as one playback.

Therefore,It is safe to play the video in full if you want to increase the number of views.

Continuous playback using the same IP address

It is said that even if you repeatedly play a video in the same internet environment, the number of views will only be counted as one play within a certain period of time.

If you play multiple devices or multiple windows at the same time using the same IP address, it may not be reflected in the number of plays.

``Viewing techniques said to be easily counted in the number of views'' practiced by fans

We will introduce you to the following.

However, this is just an example of ideas shared among fans, so please use this as a reference only.📝

Please use it when releasing new songs and latest content.♪

Review account settings (country, autoplay, etc.)

Before playing the video, first check the "Settings".

After logging in to YouTube,Top right of my page⚙Tap "Mark (settings button)"Check and correct the following.

Furthermore, when playing videos,Also avoid using a VPN and ad blockers.

Logout for second and subsequent playbacks

If you are watching with a free account, it is best to leave a comment or give a high rating the first time you play, then log out and play again.It is said that

This is thought to be because playing while logged in is likely to be viewed as "short-term continuous playback by the same account."

On the other hand,If you are subscribed to YouTube Premium, there is no problem if you remain logged in.

Manually search and then play

In order to be counted as the number of views,

From the search window[Group name (artist name) + song title]Search for keywords,

Playing videos from the search results page is considered effective.

Although it takes a little time,Basically, I search manually from the search window every time.We recommend that you play the video.

Play with sound (do not mute playback)

It is said that ``video playback without sound is difficult to be counted as the number of playbacks.''

Some say it's OK as long as it's at the minimum (0), while others say it's safe to set the volume of the video itself to 50% or higher.

When you are worried,Set the volume of the video itself to 50% or higheris recommended.

In addition, if the volume of the video itself isThere is no problem with muting the speakers on the device side, such as the PC itself.It is said that, and also,Playback with earphones connected is also counted.It is thought that.

Image quality is 720p or higher

Regarding the image quality when playing videos, there is an opinion that ``480p or higher is OK'', but if possible,[High quality (720p or higher)]It is best to watch it atIt is said that

Play the video in full and do not fast forward

Until the end of the video,[Standard speed (×1.0)]It is recommended that you play with.

Also, be careful of the following points when playing.

• ✅When the video startsDon't touch the play bar
• ✅Fast forward/rewind/pausedon't do
• ✅Loop playback setting also offkeep it
• ✅full screenWatch on

In other words,It is important to "enjoy the video normally until the end"It is◎

When the playback is finished, return to the YouTube home page, search for the video again from the search window, and play it again.Let's repeat.

Does not play continuously

It is said that simply playing the same video over and over again is considered unnatural viewing and is unlikely to be reflected in the number of views.

Therefore,In between plays[Include 2-3 videos of 3 minutes or more]is recommended.

Also,The video in between is[Select a video from a different channel instead of the same channel as the video you want to play]is goodIt is said that

Avoid advertising as much as possible

Regarding advertising,"You can skip it."Some people have the opinion that"It's best not to skip as much as possible."Some say that.

Also, according to one theory"If you watch an ad for 30 seconds or more, it will be counted as a view count."It is also said that

Therefore, when in doubt,[Watch the ad for at least 30 seconds or watch it until the end without skipping]is recommended.

Playlist will be available after 24 hours

It is said that it is best to avoid using playlists for viewing within 24 hours of release.

Basically, within 24 hours of publication.We recommend searching and playing the video manually.It has been.

Even after 24 hours have passed, the recommended viewing method is to manually search and play, but it is also possible to use a playlist.

However, it is no good to use the same list multiple times a day.

A playlist can only be counted once per day.

If you want to create your own playlist, it's a good idea to put two or three videos of 3 minutes or longer in between the desired videos (about 10 to 15 minutes in total).

Also, fanbases sometimes distribute their own playlists, so feel free to use those as well!

Shares, high ratings, and comments on SNS are very effective!

Although it does not directly affect the number of views on YouTube, shares, likes, and comments on SNS will increase the rating of the video!

In particular,Videos with a large number of comments, high ratings, and shares on SNS are more likely to be ranked in the ``trending rankings.''It is said that

If your video is listed on the trending list, it will be more likely to catch the attention of new viewers, which will naturally lead to an increase in the number of views.

We recommend commenting or giving a high rating after watching the video to the end.

It is also said to be effective to actively interact with other viewers by replying to their comments and clicking "Like".

However, be careful about the content of your comments!

Avoid words that refer to the number of views, such as ``number of views'', ``sumin'', ``musu'', ``views'', and sentences that encourage views.

Also,Comments that use a lot of emojis and numbers, and posting the same content repeatedly are also not recommended.So, try to avoid it.

No matter how many times the same person plays it, it only counts once! ? Change IP address

For free members,If you play repeatedly from the same IP address, it will not be reflected in the number of plays.It is said that

For example,"Open multiple tabs or windows on one device and play them at the same time" "Play using multiple devices or accounts with the same IP address"It is also better to avoid such viewing methods.

• ⭐How to switch IP address⭐
• ✅Mobile communication: Periodically switch airplane mode from ON to OFF (after turning airplane mode on, wait 10 to 20 seconds and then turn it off)
• ✅Wi-Fi usage: Connect to another Wi-Fi after playing the video
• ✅If you are using multiple devices, connect each device to a different network.

By making these efforts,Even if you play the same video repeatedly, the count will be reflected more easily.It is said that

However, it is said that if you have YouTube Premium, there is no need to switch your IP address.
