When a user watches a video, it counts as 1 view. For the same user, any repeat views of that video within 48 hours will not increase the view count. It stays as 1 view. If the user watches the same video after the 48-hour window has passed, it will count as a new view (2 views total).
If you are watching your own video in a browser while you are logged into your account, it does not count as a view.
For example:
Oliver views a recording at 10:00 AM on Day 1. This view is recorded.
If Oliver attempts to view the same recording again within the next 48 hours (until 10:00 AM on Day 3), it will not be counted as a separate view.
After 48 hours have passed (from 10:00 AM on Day 1 to 09:59 AM on Day 3), Oliver can register another view for the same recording.
