Viewer Count WRong
Hello, my viewer count always shows 1 maybe 2 viewers, however you can clearly see multiple accounts in chat watching. So not including viewers that don't have accounts, why is my stream showing only 1 viewer?

Hey everyone! Just wanted to pop on here to give some clarification.
Your Viewer Count reflects the total number of people watching your live broadcast, whether or not they have logged into a Twitch account. Your total Users in Chat reflects the number of logged-in Twitch accounts that are connected to your chat. In some instances, an account can be connected to your chat without watching your live broadcast - like chat bots, users in chat-only mode, or users in pop-out chat mode - which would then create a difference in your total number of Users in Chat and your Viewer Count. You can learn more about your Viewer Count and Users in Chat in this help article.
Thank you as always for the feedback!

Mine is the exact same! I have met all requirements for affiliate, but my average views are still 1-2, even though I had 7 people that I know were on it.

I do not like the viewer count. Not true at all. I had a lot of people in watching what i am doing but all night long i only had 2 viewers. You have to make that much better for viewers who should be counted. Not a very good job counting real humans.

de casualidad encontraron alguna solución? me pasa lo mismo de los espectadores tengo entre 4 o 6 personas en chat y viendo el directo y solo me marca 1 o dos espectadores y esto afecta mi media para ser afiliado, el chat si me lo cuenta pero la media de espectadores no

Same here, me and a friend have the same issue. Sometimes they're like 9 or 10 views and suddenly drops to 1 while people is still chatting.

Update the timeframe or add the ability to reset your Avg. Views. Whether it be something as little as a weekly, Biweekly, or monthly ability it would help out.
Part of the issues I've had personally is the lack of improvement available to raise the Avg. I have the issue of the last time I was close to affiliate I was at 2.6 but stopped streaming and it reset. but ever since then I haven't been able to get above 1.2 . Even if I'm getting 3+ Views it never seems to make a difference in the Avg.
Personally I and a lot of small streamers would like the idea to be able to either have it reset or the ability to do so. -

Once again, this is likely the the 10% volume rule - half of you would not be posting if you read first

como es posible que me cuenten 1 espectador en la transmisión cuando eh llegado a los 7 espectadores casi toda la transmisión y es lo que faltaba para llegar al afiliado?, que clase de respeto están haciendo a los streamers que recién comienzan? esa es su forma de apoyarlos?

How can such a bug be so obviously present for so long and twitch does nothing about it? I have had this since I started streaming but lately it has even gotten worse. Twitch there is something wrong here, please fix it or at least relax the bot detection code because I suspect it is registering legitimate viewers as bots. This is very obvious on small streams but probably affecting large streamers as well; just more difficult to see when they already have many people viewing.

Yea I could gave like that many in the chat and they do t show up it only shows like 1 to 2 views and I dont like that that needs to be changed for sure please do

darktigerking67 commented
I would say no on that one I think it should show all the views on stream than just one or 2 that way I know who there also so I dont have to get looking back and forth from chat and playing the game it's pretty destructive if you are playing a multiplayer game so that a bo for me

Its so true this is happening .. when one analytics page says one thing and one says another.. their analytics reporting algorithm is broken! Twitch! Fix This **** Please! You Make us play by the numbers.. count on you for those numbers .. yet you cant get the numbers to match from page to page.. WTF is going on? I know yall know it too.. so fix it.. its not that hard to do.. and you have had plenty of time to do it in as well.. Its been broken for over a year now that i know of. Please get on this ASAP As all my analytics say i have over 50 followers except the Achievements page which is still stuck on 49.. why is that when i obviously have over 50?
