Engagement is the major factor that determines the number of viewers you will retain from videos they watch and how many viewers will both stick around to watch your content from the starting and do not leave the video in the middle. Higher engagement signifies the efficiency of a video. It is a measurable quantity that you can look upon to build a better video strategy and boost the quality as well as performance of the future videos.
2 most fundamental measures of a video’s efficiency and audience engagement are:

People are highly influenced in making their purchase decision through the explainer and educational videos featuring products. Lastly, if your product is well-covered by other content creators, it could improve your sales through brand awareness.
Quality of a video is one of the most important aspects that helps increase video engagement. If you are a brand owner, representing high quality video will make sure you get the highest engagement on a video.

Audio is also one of the significant engagement factors in videos. Audience might somehow forgive the video quality but poor audio can be the major reason people stop watching or listening to your content.
