Short answer
View rate is the share of video ad impressions that result in a counted view, as defined by the platform. On YouTube, for example, a view is counted when someone watches 30 seconds of the ad, or the whole ad if shorter, or interacts with it. It indicates how compelling creative is to its audience.
