Longer videos with a slow start
Tutorials and long-form content that take time to find an audience.
Watch time is the total hours viewers spend watching your long-form videos. This service adds watch hours to public videos on your channel.
One account · every platform
See every YouTube service in one place, then use a single VIRALEAP account to order and track progress from one dashboard.
Watch time is a different measure from views: a view is a single play, while watch time adds up how long those plays lasted. YouTube Studio reports it in hours, and it includes only long-form public videos.
Many channels track watch hours because they are one of the eligibility criteria for the YouTube Partner Program. Meeting a threshold does not mean approval: YouTube reviews each channel against its policies, and watch time added by a service can be excluded from that review. No service — including this one — can guarantee eligibility or monetisation.
