The median video lengths were 50\u2005s (healthcare) and 70\u2005s (nonhealthcare). Videos from healthcare source gained higher overall audience engagement except comments. The majority of the video style was medical questions and answers (51.7%), while the most common video background was medical scenario (90.3%). Video uploaders were predominantly from first-tier cities (45.4%). Videos from healthcare showed more scores on the median m-DISCERN, GQS, JAMA, and VIQI than videos from nonhealthcare.
