Streams Charts tool breaks down Twitch, YouTube Gaming and Kick watch time by country

Streams Charts has published data from its Audience Geo & Demographics tool, which breaks watch time down by country across Twitch, YouTube Gaming and Kick.

Streams Charts says its Audience Geo & Demographics tool breaks down watch time across Twitch, YouTube Gaming and Kick, then splits that traffic across national borders to show the percentage of viewers hailing from each country.

The company says it wanted to measure how much overlap there is between regions such as France, South Korea and Latin America, where the growth of the streaming community has produced star creators.

For creators, the country-level breakdown shows where a channel's audience actually sits across the three platforms, rather than treating viewers as one global pool.

Our reading

Our view is that country-level watch time is a useful check on where a channel's audience really sits across the three platforms, though Streams Charts has not tied the data to payouts or monetisation.

What to do or watch

Creators can use Streams Charts' Audience Geo & Demographics tool to check the country-by-country split of their own watch time across Twitch, YouTube Gaming and Kick rather than treating their viewers as one global pool. The unresolved question is whether Streams Charts will connect that country-level watch time to payouts or monetisation, which the current data does not address.
