Display & Video 360
YouTube watch time metrics incompatible with geo dimensions
Estimated week of Mar 1, 2021
The Watch Time metric in YouTube reports will no longer be compatible with the following dimensions:
- Country
- City
- Zip Code
API requests that combine Watch Time with these dimensions will return an error. Any existing scheduled reports that use Watch Time with these dimensions will no longer run.
The change is being made because of no/low usage.
