Do views from Sprizzy count toward my video’s watch time?

Views from Sprizzy promotions contribute to your video’s overall watch time, which can positively influence your video’s visibility in YouTube search results and recommendations.

It’s important to understand that while these ad views do contribute to your video’s watch time, they do not count towards the 4,000 public watch hours required for channel monetization. This is a consistent policy across all promotions run through the Google/YouTube Ads platform.

However, if a viewer discovers your channel through a Sprizzy ad and proceeds to watch more of your videos organically, the watch time from those subsequent views will count towards your monetization requirements.
