Live Radar — FAQ
Common questions about this feature.
What is a YouTube outlier video?
An outlier is a video that breaks out far beyond its channel's baseline. Trelline defines outliers per-channel (top 1% by view velocity in the first 24–72 hours) rather than against a global view count, so small channels can have outliers too.
How fast does Live Radar detect a new outlier in my niche?
Live Radar polls tracked channels every few minutes and flags outliers as soon as their view velocity crosses the threshold — typically within the first 6–24 hours of publication, well before the broader niche notices.
Can I get email or Slack alerts when an outlier appears?
Yes. Email and in-app alerts are included on every plan; Slack and webhook alerts are available on Max and Enterprise.
Does Live Radar work for small channels (under 50K subs)?
Yes — and that's where it shines. Live Radar scores against each channel's own baseline, not a global view threshold, so a 5K-sub channel's breakout video is treated as the outlier it actually is.
How is Live Radar different from YouTube Trending?
YouTube Trending is a global, regional, lagging feed. Live Radar is niche-specific, per-channel, and real-time — it tells you that your competitor just shipped a likely outlier, not that an unrelated music video is trending.
