## View Count&#x20;

### On YouTube or Vimeo lives&#x20;

As soon as a user watches a video for 60 seconds, one minute of view is counted, whether the live stream is in progress or in replay.&#x20;

If the user pauses the video, then the views are not counted.&#x20;

### On live shows with the MeltingSpot studio&#x20;

In the studio, if a user spends 60 seconds in the studio, then one minute of views is counted, whether the live show is started or not.&#x20;

Outside the studio, if a user watches the broadcast for 60 seconds, then one minute of view is counted, whether the live show is in progress or replayed.

The activity history appears in **anti-chronological order** and actions are grouped by day. You can **filter the list** with specific activities. However, the list cannot be filtered by date.

{% hint style="danger" %}
As activities have only been tracked since **July 12, 2023**, earlier activities do not appear in the list.
{% endhint %}

Members in the activity list are clickable: click on a member's name to be redirected to his profile 😉.
