Q1 2026 Global Livestreaming Landscape: TikTok declines by over 11% in viewership
Market leaders YouTube Live and TikTok Live both recorded a decline in live content consumption, with the latter dropping by over 11%. This decrease may be partly linked to the transition of TikTok’s U.S. segment under domestic jurisdiction.
In contrast, the main competitors in the gaming segment, Twitch and Kick, showed positive growth. Among all platforms, the Amazon-backed Twitch demonstrated the strongest performance, supported in part by the launch of new competitive seasons across the esports industry.
