Kirby Just Told Me This Skool Trick (Almost Nobody Knows)
Andrew Kirby shared a little-known Skool trick that almost nobody knew. At first, it was just him, Sam, and a couple of engineers who knew this even existed.
When you post a YouTube video inside Skool, people can watch it, but those views won’t show up on your YouTube channel. You’re getting watch time inside Skool, but YouTube isn’t tracking it.
Here’s how to fix it:
  • If your link is youtube.com, add &views to the end.
  • If your link is youtu.be, add ?views to the end.
Now every view inside Skool will count toward your YouTube views.
Andrew uses this for every Skool News episode. I tested it with my own videos too. It works.
You can even add this to old posts you've created. Just edit the post, delete the old link, and add the new one with the &views or ?views to start making them count.
Most people have no idea this exists. Now you do. There’s no CTA to subscribe, like, or join a community in the video, so you can feel free to share this information with others! :)
