Hi Community! @yuhuisg @jennifer_dungan

I'm a newbie in Adobe Analytics and I struggling a bit to understand how the point mentioned in the title works.

Please refer me to some guide/documentation/videos for the success implementation.

Thank you for the help.

Hi @anonymusus ,

You can refer below documents:

I haven't actually used the official "Adobe Media Analytics", we have a few events that fire at core times, and I just use custom tracking for them (play, pause complete, and 10% complete, 25% complete, 50% complete, 75% complete and 90% complete).

However, I found these documentation:

https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/media-analytics/using/media-overview

https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/media-analytics/using/implementation/overview

If you have any specific questions about the implementation, I might be able to support based on knowledge of how Adobe collects data, but I would be using the above documentation myself if I were to implement this today.

Hi,

How u have done custom tracking ?

I've had a few solutions over the years.

Since we have free GA on our sites, and have GTM in addition to Adobe Launch, one of my solutions used the YouTube Video triggers to detect the Start / Complete / Pause / and all my specified progress percentages.... then from GTM I triggered some custom JS events, then I listened for those events with Adobe Launch to facilitate my tracking.

There is a YouTube Playback extension in Launch, but I could never get it to work consistently... it would detect plays and pauses sporadically for me so I gave up (but it may just have been our site....)

In other iterations, our developers have events that I can watch for at each of the points I need to track, so I just created direct rules based on those triggers.

So rather than using the default "heartbeat" tracking of Adobe (which I think you might have more control over than when we first implemented), we limit the tracking calls to a subset of checks and pass the correlation data that we need (video name, id, duration, timestamp, etc)
