How to analyse device insights with video analytics

Connect information about your audience’s viewing environment with their behaviour inside the video to build a more complete picture of how content is consumed.

Step 1

Review device and browser data in Cinema8’s analytics to understand the technology your video audience uses.

Step 2

Examine viewing and engagement data alongside device information to identify meaningful differences in audience behaviour.

Step 3

Use those patterns to inform testing, content decisions and improvements to the viewing experience across relevant platforms.

Why use Cinema8’s video analytics for device insights?

Audience behaviour can make more sense when teams understand the environment in which viewing takes place. Cinema8 provides device breakdowns within its analytics and specifically recommends reviewing device and browser data when assessing whether video experiences work consistently across platforms. This gives teams useful technical context for interpreting engagement patterns and deciding where further testing or optimisation may be valuable.
