StreamLive ProFind a post in Analytics: search, sort, paste a link
Find any post or video in Analytics: search by words of the title, paste the post's link, filter videos, lives or posts, and sort by views or engagement.
There are two ways to find one post in Analytics. If you know roughly what it was called, type words of its title, in any order. If you have it open on its network, copy its link and paste it in the same box. Search looks through every post of every account shown in Analytics, at every date, not only the period on screen. To browse instead, the Content tab lists every post of the period with filters for Videos, Lives and Posts, and sorting by Newest, Most views, Most interactions or Best engagement. Clicking a row opens the post's own page with its numbers.
Before you start
- The account the post belongs to is shown in Analytics (Choose what Analytics shows). Posts on accounts that are switched off are not searched. See Read your social media analytics for every account.
- Analytics reads Facebook Pages, Instagram, YouTube, Threads and Twitch, including posts that were not published with StreamLive Pro.
- A link works for a post on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok or Threads.
Steps
- Open the search. In Analytics click Find a video in the account switcher at the top (it is on every Analytics view), or use the search box on the Content tab. It is the same search.
- Type words or paste a link. Words of the title in any order, for example "budget meeting" finds "Meeting on the city budget" (an example). Or paste the post's link from the network.
- Pick the result. Results show the picture, the account, the date and its views and interactions. Clicking the row opens its page in Analytics; clicking the picture opens the original on its network in a new tab.
- Or browse the Content tab. Open Content, choose the period and the account, and narrow it with Videos, Lives or Posts.
- Sort. Newest, Most views, Most interactions or Best engagement. Best engagement brings up posts that people reacted to strongly, even with fewer views.
- Load more. The list shows the first posts; Show more adds the next ones.
- Read the post page. It says how the post did against your usual on that account, then breaks it into Overview, Reach, Engagement and Audience: Analytics for one post: reach, engagement and audience.
