Field notes
RealView overlays YouTube Studio rather than operating as a separate analytics dashboard. It requests engaged-view data over the same periods as the visible Studio cards, then changes figures across realtime, dashboard, content, breakdown, and chart views. Its example shows a 28-day difference of 60 raw views versus 47 engaged views, while the page says the figures remain in browser memory and are not sent to a server.
