I have a video hosted on YouTube that I want to embed on a landing page. Is it possible that I tell who clicked on the video to watch / how long they watched it?

They would watch it right on the landing page; they wouldn't click the video and be re-directed to YouTube.

If it's a specific user you're after, put the video on a link with a unique URL and video and send that to them. See if the view count in YouTube goes up.

If you'd like to see general, anonymous analytics, you can easily integrate Google Analytics with YouTube videos using a number of methods such as one by Cutroni and another from Loves Data — albeit I haven't used either.

In short:


Most of them append event tracking on the play button and other actions.


Alternatively, you could use YouTube Analytics.
