Engagement by Video Length

Average engagement grouped by video length, so you can see which durations actually get the strongest response for this account, not just which ones they post most. Each row averages its videos' own rates (likes, comments and shares per play), so every video counts the same. The 7.12% engagement rate above divides all likes, comments and shares by all their plays, so the most-played videos count most: that is why it sits above every row.

Duration	Videos	Avg Engagement
<15s	37	2.83%
15-30s (best)	23	5.08%
30-60s	78	4.65%
