Guide: how to use Audience Retention Heatmap
The retention graph in YouTube Studio tells you where viewers left. It does not tell you why, and by the time you can see it the video is published. The Audience Retention Heatmap predicts the curve from your video's structure before you publish, marks the five riskiest drop-off points, writes the script fix for each, and estimates how much retention you recover by applying them.
