Streamlabs, a software developer for live streaming, has released a report on the live streaming of games in the second quarter of 2020. According to this, the total viewing time related to live game broadcasts worldwide exceeds 7 billion hours.
According to this, Twitch has the most watch time. It recorded 5,66.5 million hours, accounting for 67.6% of the total. The second place was YouTube Gaming Live, followed by Facebook Gaming, followed by Microsoft Mixer. When Twitch, YouTube Gaming Live, Facebook Gaming, and Mixer are combined, it is calculated that it takes 7 billion hours to watch live games around the world, with more than 7 billion hours per year.
On the other hand, when comparing the total broadcast time, Twitch, which showed 192.7 million hours, is the first place, but the second place was the mixer with 36.3 million hours. As for the number of transmission channels, Twitch, which recorded 9.96 million, accounted for 61.3% of the total, and the mixer, which recorded 50,48,101, accounted for 31%. Of course, Mixer announced its end of service in June 2020 and made clear integration with Facebook Gaming.
Looking at the trend of viewing time by platform from April to June 2020, Twitch’s overwhelming lead, accounting for two-thirds of the total viewing time, decreased slightly from 2 billion to 1.5 billion hours. Twitch gradually increased the total viewing time from the second quarter of 2018, and then suddenly increased to 1.8 times in the second quarter of 2020. The average number of simultaneous viewers was stable at 1.2 million from the second quarter of 2018 to the fourth quarter of 2019, but increased to 1.44 million in the first quarter of 2020, and 1.6 times higher than the previous quarter to 2.35 million in the second quarter.
Looking at the trend of the number of transmission channels, the number of channels decreased from the first quarter of 2019 to the third quarter of the same year, but the number of channels increased again and rapidly increased in the second quarter of this year. The same trend can be seen on other platforms, but it can be said that the overall size of the game market has grown in the second quarter of this year.
