Work Out The Rate
Rate = (likes + comments + shares) divided by views, times 100.
What Engagement Rate Is
The share of views that turned into an action: a like, a comment or a share. A higher rate on a Short means more of the people who saw it did something about it.
Why Views And Not Subscribers
A Short reaches people who do not follow you, so views count the people who actually saw it. That makes the rate comparable from one Short to the next.
