YouTube First 24 Hours Data

After clicking on the first 24 hours from the date picker as displayed in the image above, you will get to see a complete set of data that has been gathered from the first 24 hours after the video was published. Below is an example provided by YouTube:

You will be shown a summary at the top of the screen after opening the first 24 hours view. The summary, therefore, gives you the total number of views and how that compares with your previous videos. As you move down, you will get to see the total watch time the video got in its first 24 hours. The report also displays how many subscribers you have lost or gained during that time, and the amount of revenue you earned if the video gets monetized.

Compare Videos Side-by-Side

YouTube is also providing creators the ability to see how your new video has performed in comparison to your last video, or any other recent video.
