Live Streaming Platforms See Massive Increase
According to a new report, during the Coronavirus lockdown audiences watched 7.46 billion hours of live-streamed content just in the third quarter of 2020. For some context, there are 876,000 hours in a century. That means roughly 8,447 centuries of content was consumed across all streaming platforms in just three months.
Twitch, which is primarily used to watch videogame streams, accounted for 63% of total hours watched and 91% of hours streamed. YouTube (5.5%) and Facebook (3.4%) are the only other challengers on Twitch’s radar.
