2 Metrics Changes on Facebook (October 2019)

Hey guys,

Facebook has important updates this month on metrics around video ads and lead ads. I believe most of you have campaigns with them and don't panic if you cannot find the metrics you used to check everyday!


- Removal of 10-second video views, cost per 10-second video view and unique 10-second video views

In July 2019, ThruPlay replaced 10-second video views as the default optimisation for video views campaigns. ThruPlay optimises for video plays to completion or for at least 15 seconds. Facebook has found that ThruPlay optimisation drives cost-efficient brand lift that's on par with 10-second video views, and exceeds 10-second video views for ad recall lift. As part of this transition, facebook removed the 10-second video view optimisation and billing option in July 2019. Facebook will remove the corresponding metrics mentioned in October.

And more naming changes:

Previous video metric name New video metric name
Unique 2-second continuous video views Unique 2-second continuous video plays
2-second continuous video views 2-second continuous video plays
Cost per 2-second continuous video view Cost per 2-second continuous video play
3-second video views 3-second video plays
Cost per 3-second video view Cost per 3-second video play
Video watches at 25% Video plays at 25%
Video watches at 50% Video plays at 50%
Video watches at 75% Video plays at 75%
Video watches at 95% Video plays at 95%
Video watches at 100% Video plays at 100%
Video average watch time Video average play time

- Replacement of Leads (form) metric with on-Facebook leads channel breakdown within Leads metric

In an effort to improve the consistency of conversion reporting on our platform, facebook will be removing the Leads (form) metric, which currently exists outside the Leads metric, in favour of an on-Facebook leads channel breakdown within the Leads metric. All actions captured within Leads (form) today will be represented in the on-Facebook leads channel breakdown. The Leads metric will be omni-channel and include both on and off-Facebook leads.
