In the past, the Channel Analytics page separated stats based on streams. This meant that if a stream occurred in the morning and later in the evening, two separate bar graphs would appear that individually show the stats per stream. Recently, there was a change to combine this data. I am proposing the change is reverted.

I am aware the Stream Summary provides this breakdown, however the stats are rounded and a few are missing (Such as Viewer Watch Time). I am hoping the prior change is reverted or the Stream Summary is updated to provide the same stats as Channel Analytics with the same decimal precision.

Thanks, Axelrod

As a streamer who is attempting to find a streaming category that works for me and is home to me, being able to see the categories that my pre-existing audience watch is a great feature. However I'd like to be able to see all of them. At the moment, my "categories my viewers like to watch" section is made up 63% of the "other" category and I would really love to see more of the categories listed in this. I understand all categories can't be shown due to the fact there will be hundreds with only 1 or less than 1%, but being able to expand this to potentially include a search feature to help a streamer in deciding on a new category to stream will be very beneficial.

I would like to see one number for the average viewers from 11pm to 3am streaming. Instead, analytics breaks this up into 2 streams, and it makes the number alot lower for the early part ( 1130 to 1259, or whenever it cuts off.) and still not the correct number for the later part of my stream.. Let me know if you would like to see a screenshot of this.. I have these partial streams with very low count.. just because of the time of day i stream.. My one stream is broken up into two streams for reporting.. I hope this gets looked at.. Thank you for your time..

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.
