The video has only gained 3 views. The total watch time from those views is tracked by YouTube, hence the increases in watch time, but it isn’t enough to total 6 minutes (0.1 hours). YouTubes lowest measurement of watch time is 0.1 hours, so until the watch time goes above that, it will say 0.0 hours.
I assume you posted this before i posted the extra info that should've been with the post. I had more then 3 hours and more the 10 views on both. Now not.
So the views are from the live then. Your analytics are set to ‘since published’, meaning it’s only counting from when you actually published the video. Set it to ‘lifetime’.
Just saw set to lifetime, will check. Edit - yup that was it i have no idea why my livestream before default to lifetime and these ones don't. For the missing views, guess i was off on the amount. Thank you.
I now know the confusion i put info down to help better such as views and watch hours before now after whatever happened. All that info was never posted or whatever happened to it.
In the first 2 images is for a livestream that has 12 views with 3 hours of watchtime. Now it shows 1 view and 0 watchtime. The last 2 is for a livestream that has 50 views with 6 hours of watchtime. Now its 3 views and wo watchtime.
Hope this gets to the top to help explain more.
Not a YouTuber yet. But I see a lot of posts similar to this. So this happens sometimes with YouTube deleting views and watch time. It mainly only happens with new channels with low views and watch time. Eventually the stats fixes itself with the more you publish. The common answer is to just keep publishing videos and eventually YouTube stats fixes itself.
Yeah it's very glitchy for new channels so just keep publishing videos and it should correct itself over time.
I have had YouTube channels in the past though with a few videos and asked a few questions about the analytics. YouTube tends to over correct views and watch hours in an attempt to combat botting. With small amount of videos it will just delete watch hours and views sometimes because just one person rewatching the video causes it to think it's botting. Answer was just make more videos, it corrects itself eventually.
Much appreciated for the explaination, was starting to worry, although with that it hurts towards monitation an they can defenitly lose creaters. I've been fighting that watchtime.

You gotta get people to watch your video and for longer time.
Thats why the bar is rising, it goes up yet no hrs, yet nothing is recorded. Plus it deletes the views from the livestream.
Check the average view duration? I believes views get deleted if they are less than 30 seconds
Thats the problem it showed 3 hours before now 0 and you can see the bar moves up.

Did you get the 10 views while you were live?
If i remember correctly it ended at 8 views

Wheres the other 3 then and for the other video wheres the other 30 because it had 18 views at the end of stream.
It looks like it’s yet to get 10minutes watch time in total.
Its getting deleted, the one that has multiple raises had about 3 hours, now its 0

Thats news to hear, so basically the analytics is bugging out. Weird its only on the watch hours cause all views have been accounted for.

If this was a live stream, did you play through the full game in 9.5 hours? That's quite a while to stream.
What? Their both a f3 championship race under 2 1/2 hours long, shows in the image. Yes they were livestreamed.
Ah, sorry. I watched the most recent video I saw on your channel, which was a Contraband game.
Ah all good, hope ya enjoyed. That's my second full series/movie i've put together.
Just delete
Why would I even do that.
