# Where can I see the views for videos published to Facebook?

The viewing analytics of videos published to Facebook are displayed in your Facebook Account. Lightcast merely passes on the video files, images, and metadata to Facebook, but Facebook is the CDN for the delivery, using its own players within its websites and apps, thus the entity which collects and stores the viewing stats. 

Not being in control over the CDN delivery for the Facebook websites and apps, [Lightcast.com](https://www.lightcast.com/) does not have the viewing stats for your viewers on Facebook, nor does Facebook share this data with Lightcast. 

Please retrieve viewing numbers from the Facebook website, or log into your Facebook Account in order to retrieve further analytics Facebook might provide. 

More information on bandwidth usage for Facebook publishing can be found [HERE](https://help.lightcast.com/does-lightcast-deduct-video-minutes-for-videos-published-on-facebook) .
