Run, watch-time & interactions

Three config cards below the group list decide how the campaign runs: How it runs (distribution), Watch time (how long to watch), and Actions & rates (which interactions, at what rate). Every change here only takes effect after you click Save Seeding.

How it runs — distribution

Option	Value	Meaning
Groups per session	One group per session (default)	The account watches a single group each session
Groups per session	All remaining groups in one session	Watches every group it hasn't done, back-to-back in one sitting
Order	Random — a different order per account (default)	Each account gets a different random order
Order	Sequential — top of the table down	Every account walks the same top-of-table order

Both "aggressive" choices carry a yellow warning. All remaining is the clearest footprint this task can leave — one account watches all your videos back-to-back (a long pause is inserted between groups, and the session stops cleanly when the time budget runs out, leftover groups waiting for the next session). Sequential makes the whole fleet walk the same order: the first video takes the entire fleet before the second gets any — a burst per video. The default Random spreads the load and is safer.

Round — the campaign round

At the bottom of the How it runs card sits Round #N (the current round) and a Reset round button (yellow outline, rotate icon). Each account watches each group only once per round; to let the whole fleet watch again, start a new round.

Read the round number Round #N.
Click Reset round.
Confirm the dialog.
The counter bumps and shows "Round reset → round N".

Reset asks to confirm: "Reset the round? All N accounts will be allowed to watch all M groups again. Progress of the current round stays in the database for reference." It only bumps a counter — no account row is rewritten, and the previous round's data is preserved. The round number is owned by the backend; the UI only displays it, and a normal Save re-reads it so you can't accidentally roll it back.

Watch time — how long to watch

The Watch time card has a duration-mode dropdown, two Min/Max inputs, a Leave early row, and a Scroll rounds when hunting the video field.

Duration mode	Unit	Min/Max range
Percent of video length (recommended)	%	2–100 % (defaults 25 / 70)
Absolute seconds	seconds	5–3600 s (defaults 45 / 180)

Min / Max — each account draws a value in this range. The two inputs are self-clamping: raising Min above Max pushes Max up, lowering Max below Min pulls Min down — the range can never invert.
Leave early — the share of views that deliberately bounce after only 5–15% of the video, so the retention curve looks real (not everyone watches deep). Enter 0–60, default 12%. These early-quit views still count as covered.
Scroll rounds when hunting the video — how far down the result list an account keeps scrolling to find the target video. Enter 4–60, default 24. The time ceiling follows this number, and it never uses more than half of what is left of the session budget. Feed entry doors (View home / View subs) scroll less, because the video may simply not be in the feed at all.

Prefer Percent: it keeps retention comparable across videos of different lengths (with absolute seconds a 60s video gets ~100% while a 5-minute one gets only 16–65%). Percent mode automatically falls back to seconds when a video's length can't be measured (e.g. live streams). In seconds mode a yellow warning notes that a video shorter than Min is watched to the end and still counts (the threshold drops to 85% of its length).

Actions & rates — which interactions, at what rate

The Actions & rates card has six rows, each a toggle plus a percent input. Toggle an action on to enable it; the % box (0–100) is dimmed/locked until the toggle is on. These are fleet-average probabilities — each account further multiplies them by its own fixed persona factor, and some accounts never do a given action at all, which is what prevents identical behaviour across the fleet.

Action	Default state	Default %
Like video	ON	40
Subscribe	ON	20
Like a comment	ON	15
Post comment ⚠	OFF	5
Reply to comment ⚠	OFF	3
Visit channel and keep watching	ON	30

The two ⚠ actions — Post comment and Reply to comment — are OFF by default and the highest-risk: posting creates public content permanently tied to the account, the highest spam-flag risk. Only enable them if you truly need to and understand the consequence. (Because these flags may be absent from an older saved config, the code always defaults risky actions OFF and non-risky ones ON.)

Just below the six rows is an indented sub-row (left border): videos to watch inside the channel — when the Visit channel and keep watching action fires, this is how many extra videos the account watches inside that channel, a min–max range, default 1 – 3, hard-capped at 1–5. The two inputs are self-clamping like the watch-time range.

Steps to configure and start a campaign

Declare target groups — see "Declaring target groups"; at least one group must be ON.
Set How it runs — pick Groups per session and Order (the defaults One group per session + Random are the most natural).
Set Watch time — choose Percent mode, set Min/Max, and the Leave early %.
Set Actions & rates — enable the non-risky actions and set their %; leave the two ⚠ actions OFF unless you truly need them.
Turn on the master toggle Enable task in the header — the yellow warning strip disappears.
Click Save Seeding — wait for the green Saved.
Run the fleet from the Automation / Dashboard tab; watch each group's Coverage column rise and the covered X/N line in the header.

To have the whole fleet re-watch a campaign that's already covered, click Reset round then Save Seeding — no need to re-declare groups. The old round's coverage stays in the DB for reference.
