Normally when we talk about live streaming viewership, we are focused on how many people are watching the content creator concurrently, or the peak viewership a streamer achieved in a determined period of time. However, there is a metric that despite not being very talked about, is very interesting and can give us some insight into how popular a streamer really is. Unique Authorized Viewers represent the total number of people that tuned into a broadcast, no matter the amount of time they watched it. It is very different from the PV or AV rating, and that’s why some of the streamers you see here might not enter the list of those two metrics.
We at Streams Charts collected all the necessary data to bring you the 5 channels that had the biggest number of Unique Authorized Viewers in October 2022. The content creators in this list are great at keeping thousands of viewers entertained, by interacting with them, making them laugh, or showing viewers a unique type of content.
Top 5 channels by Unique Authorized Viewers with and without organizations in October 2022
Amouranth is one of the most captivating streamers on Twitch, as the social media star has thousands of viewers tuning into her broadcast regularly. Despite that, she usually doesn't make it to the ten most-watched or most-popular streamers of the month. But in a very important metric such as Unique Authorized Viewers, she is clearly number one. She is one of the faces of the platform, so it's natural that so many people want to watch her, especially those that still don’t know her content very well, and want to see what makes her so popular. In October, Amouranth had 3.8 million Unique Authorized Viewers watch her broadcast. It's an astonishing number, which shows just how many people are interested in her stream. No matter if Amouranth is broadcasting on the Just Chatting category, or playing some Overwatch 2, people will click on her channel.
In second place we have Riot Games official Twitch channel, which is mainly used for League of Legends international events, such as Worlds 2022 which took place in October and November.
