What this video covers

Eye tracking records where people look on a screen, and for how long, producing gaze paths and heatmaps of attention. It answers a question self-report can't: not what people say they noticed, but where their eyes actually went - revealing what got seen, what got skipped, and the order it all happened in.

You guessed where people look first - and the heatmap probably surprised you. Attention floods the face and the headline and barely touches the call-to-action you cared about. That gap between where you put the important thing and where eyes actually go is exactly what eye tracking exposes - and why "but it's right there" is so often wrong.
