The invention provides a method, device, medium and apparatus for determining video playing delay. The method comprises the following steps of: for each selected playing identifier of a specified user; determining a playing selection timestamp and a playing start timestamp corresponding to the playing selection identifier, the playing selection identifier being generated according to a video playing selection operation corresponding to an appointed user in a preset time period, and the playing selection identifiers corresponding to videos selected to be played each time being different; and determining the duration corresponding to the difference value between the playing start timestamp and the playing selection timestamp as the video playing time delay corresponding to the playing selection identifier, the video playing time delay being the time length required by the designated user to select to play the video corresponding to the playing selection identifier until the video corresponding to the playing selection identifier is watched. By utilizing the implementation mode for determining the video playing time delay provided by the invention, the video playing time delay with higher accuracy can be obtained.
