Video engagement aggregates likes and comments relative to views across a channel's recent uploads.
View growth tracks how a video's views develop after publication: videos that keep accumulating views over weeks score higher than videos that flatten after the first day — an indicator of evergreen content and search-driven discovery.
In detail, video engagement is calculated as the median of (likes + comments) / views over the channel's last 12 videos. On the profile, the bar next to the value benchmarks it against channels with a similar subscriber count. Good video engagement usually comes from entertaining content that invites interaction, and it indicates that the videos are watched to the end more often. Shorts have their own separate engagement score (see the entry on the YouTube Shorts scores).
In the Quality Score, view growth is a 30-day comparison of the median: Videos-Views Growth = median view count of the videos now divided by the median view count 30 days ago. Shorts-Views Growth is calculated the same way, but separately for Shorts. The horizontal bars benchmark the value against channels with a similar subscriber count.
A healthy channel shows steadily increasing views. A low value can indicate declining interest in the content, or that only one or a few videos or Shorts went viral and the typical performance did not follow.
