Google Analytics for Streaming Views
Starting from July 1st, 2023, Google has officially discontinued the use of UA tracking numbers and made a complete transition to GA4 tracking numbers.
Consequently, all embedded player(EP) viewer counts will now be exclusively accessible through Google Analytics GA4, with no support for UA tracking going forward.
Any view counts that you see on our system pertain only to Portals which will be sunset in Summer 2024.
Update your tracking number with this article!
