Twitch Notches Second Biggest Quarter Ever
Twitch continues to grow, as does the overall popularity of those watching Twitch streams and regularly checking out the content provided by Twitch channels, as the streaming platform just clocked it’s second-biggest quarter to date, according to TechCrunch.
Ahead of it’s competitors YouTube, Mixer, and Facebook Gaming in live-streaming video, with more than 70% of the hours watched during the quarter.
According to a report from StreamElements, Twitch viewers live-streamed a total of 2.72+ billion hours in Q2 — or 72.2% of all live hours watched — compared with 735.54 million hours on YouTube Live (19.5%), 197.76 million on Facebook Gaming (5.3%) and just 112.29 million hours (3%) on Mixer.
The total hours watched across all of the platforms referenced in the report was 3.77 billion in Q2.
The top 5,000 channels on Twitch did a lot of the heavy lifting, as almost 75% of Twitch’s viewership came from those people tuning into the top 5,00 channels, driving 2 billion of the total hours watched.
The report also shows the climb of Facebook Gaming, as well as the top games being viewed during Q2, including the ‘Just Chatting’ category which clocked in the Top 5.
We have rolled out a new update for the Gamactica mobile app for both Android and Apple. Below are the patch notes:
- Fixed Notifications issues: we resolved the issue where not all notifications were being pushed.
- Notifications Menu: many users reported that they would prefer the menu tab for Notifications to be more prominent on the Menu, so we moved it to a higher placing for easier navigation.
- Members Menu item: Officially renamed ‘Members’ to ‘Gamacticans’ in the menu tab
- Gamactica Global: re-developed the Gamactica Global section, and created a LIVE tab present on the Menu. This will direct you to the Gamactica Global section where you can see streamers from around the world who are streaming live on Twitch, and find live channels based on language, location.
