Concurrent viewers: meaning and how it works

Concurrent viewers are the people watching a live stream at the same moment.

It differs from total views, which add everyone who watched during the stream.

How it works in practice

Concurrent viewers is the number most prominently shown on a live stream, so it shapes first impressions of the event.

Example

Example: a stream with 500 concurrent viewers at 8 pm may have 4,000 total views by the end of the broadcast.
