Understanding the YouTube Insights Page

The YouTube Insights page is a new addition to the royalties section of FUGA, designed to provide a detailed breakdown of your YouTube earnings.

This page offers a range of charts, visualisations, and tables to help you understand where your revenue is coming from and how your content is performing.

 

 

Key Points to Note

  1. Purpose of the YouTube Revenue Insights Page
    1. Enhance your understanding of YouTube royalties by providing visual insights and detailed breakdowns of your revenue data.
    2. The Insights page helps you analyse earnings into categories such as asset type, claim type, and earnings type.
    3. This page is based entirely on the YouTube extended CSV statement, making the data more accessible and easier to interpret.

  2. Accessing the YouTube Revenue Insights Page
    1. Navigate to the Accounting tab, then select Insights.
    2. Then use the first dropdown menu to select the view you wish to use. This allows you to view your royalties by assets, videos, or channels, or the default overview screen.
    3. You can also choose the desired statement period from the second dropdown menu to view the royalties included in that statement.
    4. If you are struggling to access this tab, please contact royalties-support@fuga.com.

  4. How to Interpret the Data
    1. General Information:
      1. Data categorised as 'Other' refers to categories that have yet to be mapped, not reported to FUGA, or that have missing metadata from YouTube.
      2. If you notice legacy categories like 'streaming' under claim types, this refers to historical sales now reclassified into 'audio,' 'audio-visual,' or 'visual.' These should decrease over time.
    2. Revenue Types:
      1. Ad-Supported: Income from users viewing ads on your content.
      2. Premium: Income from users with a subscription.
    3. Earnings Types:
      1. YouTube Channel Income: Revenue from content that is uploaded to your channel.
      2. YouTube UGC (User-Generated Content): Income from third-party channels using your assets.
      3. YouTube Manual Claim: Revenue from claims processed manually by our services team.
      4. YouTube Art Track: Royalties from assets distributed to YouTube with their cover art as the visual.
    4. Claim Types:
      1. Audio: Earnings from audio content like sound recordings.
      2. Visual: Earnings from purely visual assets, such as interviews and behind-the-scenes videos.
      3. Audio-Visual: Earnings from content combining audio and visual elements, such as music videos.
    5. Asset Types:
      1. Art Track: Represents a track on YouTube of a sound recording that doesn't have a premium music video.
      2. Composition: Represents a musical composition. A composition has metadata like ISWC and writers. It is the only asset type that can have multiple owners per territory. It may be embedded in a sound recording asset.

      4. Music Video: Represents the official music video for a sound recording. A music video has metadata like Video ISRC, song, and artists. A music video asset embeds a sound recording asset.
      5. Sound Recording: Represents an audio recording. A sound recording has metadata like ISRC, artist, and album. It embeds a composition asset, and may in turn be embedded in a music video asset.
      6. Television Episode: Represents an episode from a television show. An episode has metadata like season and episode number.
