Can You See Who Viewed Your Video on Facebook

Does Facebook Show Who Viewed Your Video

Well, the answer to this question depends on where the video is being shared, News Feed, Stories, or whether it’s a live. So, let’s answer it individually.

Check Who Viewed Your Videos Posted on Facebook Stories

Just like Instagram, you can view who viewed your Facebook Stories. And thankfully, the same applies to videos posted as stories on Facebook. Simply access the list of users who watched the particular story to find your answer.

What’s more, you can still check who viewed the video after 24 hours, i.e., when the Story expires. To do so, go to your Facebook profile → tap the three-dot icon → select Archive.

Here select Story Archive from the top bar and select the story; swipe up to view the full list of who viewed your story.

Although your story archive should be turned on for that, otherwise, it’s a no-go.

Check Who Is Watching Your Facebook Live Videos

While you’re live, During a live broadcast, you can check out the Facebook live viewer list. You can view the number of live viewers, and their profile pictures may also appear.

This feature is excellent for engaging with your audience in real time, answering questions, and acknowledging your viewers. However, once the broadcast is over, you can’t see who watched your video while you were live streaming or who viewed the video later on.

While you can check the number of viewers, but you can’t see who exactly watched your video. You might have to rely on comments, likes, and profile visits to guess.

Video Uploaded on Your News Feed

No. Although Facebook can tell you how many times or how many people watched the video, it doesn’t share who watched it.

The best you can do to see who viewed your videos on Facebook is to check the comments and likes. You can also attempt the deduce it by checking who visited your Facebook Profile. However, none of the methods will give you a 100% correct or satisfactory answer.
