As the world becomes increasingly digital, privacy and transparency on social media platforms have become hot topics among users and content creators. On Facebook, where millions of videos are shared daily, many users wonder: “Can you see who viewed your video?” The answer isn’t straightforward and requires an understanding of the privacy policies and features Facebook provides.

As of my knowledge cutoff in early 2023, Facebook does not offer a feature to users that lets them see the exact people who have viewed their videos, including those posted on profiles or Pages. Unlike on some other platforms, where this feature is available for certain types of content like stories, Facebook maintains a degree of privacy for video views.

In contrast, what you can see is the number of views a video has received, which is visible beneath the video. This count indicates how many times your video has been watched for at least 3 seconds or more. However, it should be noted that this number doesn’t offer any specifics about who those viewers were.

The sole exception to this rule can be found in Facebook Stories, where you are able to see who has viewed your story. When you post a video as part of your story on Facebook, you can check who watched it until the story expires. Keep in mind that this feature only applies to stories and not to standard video posts.

On Pages, while individual viewers’ details are not provided, Page admins do get access to insights and analytics that show various metrics such as reach, engagement rates, and view durations. These statistics help admins understand their video performance and audience better but still do not reveal individual viewer identities.

It’s also important to point out that third-party apps claiming to offer capabilities to see who views your videos may not be trustworthy. Providing such functionalities would violate Facebook’s terms of service concerning user privacy. Users should exercise caution and avoid using unverified apps that promise to reveal this kind of personal data.

In conclusion, while you cannot see exactly who viewed your videos on Facebook—except for stories—understanding your audience comes from paying attention to general engagement metrics such as like counts, comments, shares, and overall view counts which are provided by Facebook insights and analytics. It remains important for users to be aware of their privacy settings and the information they share online.
