See how many people are watching, when they watch, where they are, and how they found you, for one channel or across all your channels.
Where to find analytics
- One channel: the channel's Analytics tab.
- All channels: Analytics in the left sidebar. It has a table comparing each channel's current, peak, and unique viewers.
- At a glance: the ???? number next to each channel in the sidebar shows how many people are watching right now.
Choose a period with the range buttons: Last 24h, Last 7 days, Last 30 days, or Last year.
What is and isn't counted
| Counted | Not counted |
|---|---|
| Viewers on the channel's public page Viewers of the iframe embed, on your site or anyone else's |
Direct .m3u8 playback in VLC, IPTV apps, or a custom <video> playerAudiences on simulcast platforms. Use YouTube, Facebook, or Twitch analytics for those. |
The numbers are accurate for viewers using your own players, but they undercount your total audience if many people watch the stream URL directly.
Headline numbers
| Number | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Watching now | Viewers with the player open at this moment. |
| Peak | The most people watching at the same time during the period. |
| Unique viewers | Distinct viewers in the period. Someone who watches several times counts once. |
| Avg. watch time | The average length of a viewing session. |
A chart below these numbers shows viewers over the period.
Breakdowns
- ???? Peak viewing hours: when your audience tunes in. Use it to place your strongest programming and your live shows.
- ???? Countries and ???? Cities: where viewers are.
- ???? New vs. returning: first-time viewers compared with returning viewers.
- ???? Traffic sources: which websites sent viewers to you.
- ???? Browsers, ???? Operating systems, and ???? Device types: what people watch on.
Location and privacy
Viewer locations are worked out from IP addresses, down to city level, using a database stored on your own server. Nothing is sent to an outside service. Some viewers can't be located, which is normal for some VPNs and mobile networks. A note under the city list shows how many viewers could be located.
