Average engaged session duration from GA4

Average Engagement Time per Session is now available for Google Analytics 4 reporting. The metric divides total user engagement time by engaged sessions, giving you the average time users were actively engaged per session.

In report templates, the metric can be selected directly on your GA4 data sources. For datasets, the underlying User engagement input is now included in the standard GA4 stream templates, so new GA4 datasets can report this metric alongside Sessions. Existing datasets need the User engagement field added and a backfill run before the metric will populate.
