YouTube Video Live View Count

Enter a YouTube video URL or ID and click Start. The tool fetches the current view count using the YouTube Data API and refreshes every 30 seconds, showing the latest count and the increase since the previous fetch.

The count comes directly from the YouTube Data API, which reflects YouTube's publicly displayed view count. YouTube updates view counts in near-real time for actively trending videos, but may delay updates for older videos by several hours.

The tool refreshes every 30 seconds to stay within YouTube API rate limits while providing near-real-time updates. You will see the change (+views) since the last refresh displayed alongside the current count.

The current tool tracks one video at a time. For tracking multiple videos or historical data, use YouTube Studio analytics which provides detailed view history for your own channel.
