What is Thumb-Stop Ratio?

Metrics

In plain English: Same question as hook rate: did the first frame stop the scroll or not.

Identical to Hook Rate, the percentage of people who pause scrolling on your video (measured as 3-second video views ÷ impressions). Sometimes reported as "ThruPlay" percentage or "3-Second Video Views" in Ads Manager. A hook that doesn't generate at least 25–30% thumb-stop rate is failing before anyone hears your message.
