Hi @chefpanda123 – this plugin is only intended for tracking eCommerce events for Google Analytics. You can search for plugins that will focus on that specifically here: https://wordpress.org/search/google+analytics+youtube
I’m marking this topic as resolved as it’s not related to this plugin.
Normally, enabling standard tracking should log some more information on your site:

Hi @jobthomas,
What I meant was, I want to measure how many people click on the “play” video on my website.
May I track with an event?
Bets regards,

Hi @chefpanda123, that’s something you can’t track with this plugin. For that you’d just need to work with general GA tracking. This plugin only focuses on eCommerce events.
This would be a good place to start (but there are definitely other options available too): https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/google+analytics/
Hi @jobthomas
Thanks for the tip. For installing Google Optimize, it´s a best practice to install it on the same way Google Analytics is installed.
As I´m using this plugin, what do you recommend me to do? Instal the Google Optimize snippet by Google Tag Manager or hard-coded?
Best regards,
Ricardo

Hey @chefpanda123 – that depends on what you prefer. If you’re comfortable with hard-coding, you can use that option, but many people prefer to use a snippet or even a plugin.
Hi @jobthomas,
As i´m using WooCommerce Google Analytics Integration plugin for GA, that means that my GA tracking code is hard-coded, right?
If so, the best practice says it´s better to install the Google Optimize snippet in the same GA is installed, and so I should hard-code Google Optimize snippet 🙂
Look forward to hear back from you.
Best regards,
Ricardo

From our docs:
Enable Standard Tracking: Check this box to add basic website tracking. This is needed if WooCommerce Google Analytics Integration is the only Google Analytics plugin on your site. If you are using another Google Analytics plugin for your site, leave this box unchecked.
https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/google-analytics-integration/
I’ve had a look at the code of our plugin and there’s no video tracking event hardcoded there. So this means you’ll have to find another solution.
