Choose Analytics in the recording editor to see what happens on the share page: how many people opened it, how many started the video, how far through they got, which of your links they pressed, and how often the recording was downloaded. Your own visits and link-preview requests from apps such as Slack are counted separately, so they do not inflate the numbers. Counting starts from the day this is released - earlier views were never recorded.

A recording now has an Analytics page: views, plays, how far people watch, link clicks, and downloads.
