Yes, more views can definitely help your engagement. Here's how:
When people see your video has lots of views, they're more likely to watch it too.
If more people watch your video, more might like it or leave a comment.
More likes and comments are known as "engagement."
High engagement tells Instagram your video is interesting.
Instagram might then show your video to even more people.
This can create a "snowball effect"—more views lead to more engagement, which in turn leads to even more views!
