Updating Youtube Videos: Does this Reset Your Views to 0?

[PowerhouseMarketing]

Hello Moz Community,

Our team is looking to update a few videos in our Youtube channel but are concerned that doing so will reset the current amount of views to 0 once the change has been made.

Would anyone happen to know if this happens or if the views remain the same? Also, how do the updates to the videos affect rank and visibility?

Thank you all for your help.

Hi there,

When you say update what exactly do you mean? Looking at Google's documentation it seems you can edit parts of a current video if you are:

1. Making a few enhancements with the YouTube Video Enhancements software
2. Adding cards to videos
3. Changing title and meta data

If you re-upload a video I believe it will live on a new URL and the view counter will reset...

Anyone else have any other insights here?
