Techniques for using online engagement footprints for video engagement prediction are provided. In one technique, events are received from multiple client devices, each event indicating a type of engagement of a video item from among multiple types of engagement. One or more machine learning techniques are used to train a prediction model that is based on the events and multiple features that includes the multiple types of engagement. In response to receiving a content request, multiple entity feature values are identified for a particular entity that is associated with the content request. Two or more of the entity feature values correspond to two or more of the types of engagement. A prediction is generated based on the entity feature values and the prediction model. The prediction is used to determine whether to select, from candidate content items, a particular content item that includes particular video.
