After clicking the "Video Performance" tab, you can understand the effectiveness of your promotion through different metrics:

You should focus on:

Thumbnail CTR - showing the percentage of times people saw your thumbnail and performed a click. If the percentage is too low, it may represent your title or thumbnail is not attractive, which cannot increase their interest in watching your video
Avg Watch Time - showing the average time your audiences spent on watching your video. There are few factors leading to a poor performance:

A mismatch between your video content and its title/thumbnail
The video length is too long
The content is not attractive

CTA CTR - showing the percentage of times people watched your video and performed a click of its call-to-action button. Similarly, it can lead to a poor result if your content is not appealing enough for your audiences

By gaining insights from the data and metrics, you can figure out the reason why your video cannot encourage potential customers to take actions. This is essential for you to find the right solution and improve the video performance.
