Podnews has learnt that YouTube is an undisclosed member of AMP - the Alliance for Measurement in Podcasting which is seeking to enhance measurement standards. A Google spokesperson has confirmed to us that “YouTube has been participating in the AMP led conversations”. It’s widely believed that a “view” in YouTube is 30 seconds of content played - at least for larger shows - aligning with the AMP definition (though YouTube has never published a definition itself). YouTube is often cited as the most popular destination for podcasts; with Spotify as an already-announced member, it adds significant credence to the AMP task force’s work.
Meanwhile, AMP has walked back part of its definition of a “play”. Defined in their original press release as “30 seconds of content played, audio or video, once per user per session”, the corrected text drops any definition of a session length, becoming just “30 seconds of content played, audio or video”.
