Watch page
Also called: video page
Every video on YouTube gets its own watch page: the player, title and description, the comment section, and the suggested videos YouTube lines up next to it. On desktop those suggestions sit in a column to the right of the player, and on a phone they sit underneath. Cards, chapters and end screens live here too. In Analytics, views arriving from another video's watch page are reported under Suggested videos, which is the traffic source most creators mean when they say a video got recommended.
