Currenty when I want to see the number of viewers my stream had at any given time I have to click on the statistics in my creator dashboard and for further examination of why a spike (or a dip) in viewership could possibly have occured I then have to click on the specific point in time which takes me to my VOD.

It would be so much easier to improve my own content if I just had the same red guy with a number next to it as on my live streams. It does not have to be 100% accurate, because it also isn't when I'm live. But it would make reflecting on my own streams so much easier.

It would make checking one's own progress way more accessible in my opinion. Then for more detailed analysis the current solution in the dashboard of course still had its value.

Affiliates and Partners should have access to a clear description of how much they have earned within a payment period (not up until the current date) . As it is, the payout portal only lists if you have hit the threshold for payout ("$100+") and does not clearly state how much will be paid out to the streamer. RE: "The revenue dashboard on the Channel Analytics page is an estimate and not a final settlement for payout": there should be a final settlement statement before payouts are made. Creators deserve clear insights into their earnings, and not estimates and random numbers spread through the month. We shouldn't have to guess, adjust calendars or calculate our own earnings. The algorithm and data it in the system, it simply needs to be reformatted for clearer statements to allow Streamers to better understand and track their earnings.

Twitch's metrics haven't progressed greatly and are sorely lacking updates.

The following should be available as a gold standard:

• Live Views (*currently available)
• VOD views of archives (doesn't seem to exist in data export; or is rolled up into somewhere? What happens when the VOD archive gets deleted?)
• VOD Views of created clips (*currently available)
• Average View Duration (avg. mins watched per unique viewer)
• Data Export of Views by Platforms (Views by Web, Console, iOS, etc.)

Nice-to-Haves:

• Followers Gained / Followers Lost
• Live Views by Non-Followers
• Live Views by Followers (and possibly even Subscribers)
• Impressions (Auto-Play directory, Auto-Play frontpage where no sound or clickthrough)
• Impressions CTR (how many people are clicking you when seen in a directory)
• Ad Dropoff/Exits (Unique Viewers or similar who exit during an ad-server-provided ad)

And Don't Forget:

• Trending: Daily What Categories Do My Viewers Watch (not weekly). The example is, if a massive Early Access game trends (e.g. Among Us). Within 24 hours we should see if our viewers have been watching a major trend. Waiting 7 days for minimal data is not that helpful with how fast things move.

Twitch has removed "Live Views" because it was inaccurate. It was effectively website page views, without mobile, TV apps, etc. https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/stream-manager?language=en_US#stats

It likely should not have been an estimate of "live views" for so long. So, it's good it's being removed.

However, there's no commentary or explanation on why we do not have intelligent video view metrics in its place. Video views tracking (normally a tracker placed into a video after potential ads) has been around for over a decade. And there have been tons of advancements.

We should have a minimum, intelligent video view stat to understand how many TIMES our content was watched or reloaded. This is bare minimum stat that all streamers need.

Yes, live views are different than VOD views. We should see both clearly. But to not even have Live Views is severely lacking. None of the following suggested are a remotely reasonable replacement: average viewers, minutes watched, follows, and unique chatters.

Follows has nothing to do with viewership. Chatters is a solid engagement metric, but represents a vocal minority; again, nothing to do with total eyeballs.

Average viewers does not tell you how many people are joining and leaving -- especially by the amount of hours you stream (although it of course represents general growth). Worse, these numbers are easily cluttered by raids data.

In sum, Twitch Partners and Affiliates who are trying to understand how their streams are viewed in total and monetized have very little way of measuring this. We at least need to know why Twitch can't provide this info, and what it's doing about metrics in general to give us more insights.

As it stands, Twitch's metrics haven't progressed greatly and are sorely lacking updates.

The following should be available as a gold standard:

• Live Views
• VOD views of archives and clips
• Average View Duration (avg. mins watched per unique viewer)

Nice-to-Haves:

• Impressions (Auto-Play directory, Auto-Play frontpage where no sound or clickthrough)
• Impressions CTR (how many people are clicking you when seen in a directory)
• Ad Dropoff/Exists (Unique Viewers or similar who exit during an ad-server-provided ad)

And Don't Forget:

• Daily What Categories Do My Viewers Watch (not weekly). The example is, if a massive Early Access game trends (e.g. Among Us). Within 24 hours we should see if our viewers have been watching a major trend. Waiting 7 days for minimal data on this is barely helpful.

If you use reruns you will mess up your concurrent view count.

I'd like to have my view count stats from my livestreams separated from the reruns stats. You guys mix the view count from lives + reruns so the information ends up being unreliable. For those who are getting sponsorships it can become a huge problem. I never realized this until a brand told me what my official concurrent view count was. Seems like external websites have access to that information and post it publicly but the problem is that it's not accurate info. My reruns might have 8 people but my lives have 50... Unfortunately you guys mix these two and I end up with a really low number that doesn't represent my audience at all. It would be great to have concurrent viewers for livestreams VS concurrent viewers for reruns.

Hello, twitch has gone to local pricing in many countries this year, it looks very nice, but I think this causes a lot of problems and problems in some countries. In Turkey, 1 subscription is 9.90 TL, that is, approximately 10 TL. 10 TL = 0.78 $. Twitch already cuts a lot of money from the incoming money, and the money that comes to the publisher for 1 subscription is something around $ 0.30 for small publishers in Turkey. In order to be able to withdraw monthly, the money we need to save is $ 100, at least adjust the monthly withdrawal according to the local price or consider other changes. Because while it was difficult to collect $100 before, it has become even more difficult to collect now.For example, I'm throwing $100 for Turkey. If there were 100 TL, at least there are situations where I would be more comfortable... That's what I wanted to say.
