How the Test A/B works?
How does the A/B Test feature work?
The Panda Video A/B Test feature allows you to compare the performance of different versions of the same video by displaying them randomly to your visitors using a single embed code.
This feature helps you understand which version generates more engagement and conversions, making the video optimization process more accurate and effective.
What exactly is an A/B Test?
An A/B Test lets you test the impact of different video elements, such as:
- Modified script or copy
- Changes to the CTA button or its timing
- Editing or title variations
At the end of the test, you can declare a winning video, which will then be shown permanently to your visitors.
đź§ Bonus: On Panda Video, you can test as many versions as you want, with no limit to the number of variations per test.
How to set up and use the A/B Test?
1. Go to the A/B Test tab
In your dashboard, click the icon with a circle and triangle labeled “A/B Test”.
2. Create a new test
Click “Add test”. You can also search and view ongoing or completed tests using the search icon.
3. Add videos to your test
Click “Add Video” or the “+” button in the upper-right corner of the screen.
You can:
- Add existing videos
- Create a copy of a video with reset metrics (ideal for a fair test)
4. Track the results
After launching the test, you’ll see the performance of each video on the test page:
- Play rate: how many times the video was started
- Retention: the percentage of the video watched
Each video will have a distinct color on the charts to make it easier to read.
To display the test on your page, click “Embed” in the upper-right corner and copy the code. A random video will be shown to each visitor.
5. Declare a winner
Once you’ve determined which video performs best, click “Declare winner” on the winning video’s row.
This will end the test, and the winning video will be shown to 100% of your audience.
