What is hold rate?

Hold rate measures how well a video keeps viewers after the hook, commonly the share of viewers who reach a later point such as the 15-second mark or 50% of the video.

Hold rate points to pacing and content problems after the opening. Combine it with hook rate to diagnose where viewers drop.
