FV Player contains a simple feature to help you stay on top of your video engagement statistics. Besides the video-centric statistics, you can also view user statistics. These let you view both the general statistics about your user engagement, but also go into detail on individual users.
These statistics are focused on users. If you’re looking for video-centric statistics, see this guide.
How to enable Video Stats
Go to wp-admin -> FV Player -> Settings -> Sitewide FV Player Defaults and enable Video Stats
Global User Stats
You can find these statistics in the new tab of wp-admin -> FV Player called User Stats:

Individual User Stats
On top of seeing the behavior of your users as a whole, you also get to go more in depth on individual users.

Exporting individual stats
A simple button allows you to download and document viewing behavior of each user. A .csv file can be opened in OpenOffice, LibreOffice, Numbers (Mac OS), MS Excel (Windows) or any other app equipped to handle spreadsheets.
For MS Excel, open a new blank spreadsheet and pick Data in the top ribbon. In the first tab called Get & Transform data, click From Text/CSV. An explorer window will pop up, choose and open the downloaded .csv file to correctly import it.
- Once you have the statistics for a specific user brought up, the Export CSV button appears:
- Clicking it will download the file with the following information:
- User email
- Date
- Player ID
- Video URL
- Video Title
- Plays
