To start with video comparisons, select the time frame for the video(s) you want to compare.
Next, select which video(s) you want to add to each video group. You can select anywhere from 1 to an unlimited number of videos per video group. Once you have specified each video group, you will be able to view aggregated video group metrics to compare across video groups.
