YouTube's dedicated gaming service continues to have a strong presence with lots to offer as there's a huge amount of content specifically geared toward gamers. Be it live streams of popular video games or professionals sharing their gameplay or pre-recorded videos, including walkthroughs, reviews, funny moments from games, and more, such content has been on fire, raking in millions of views and likes.
While in the overall scheme of things, YouTube Gaming may not have a huge share of the total watch time for the platform, it continues to be one of its most important cogs when it comes to pulling in viewers. Compared to February, this segment's contribution went up by a significant 16.32% in March, showing that there's lots of space to grow, especially with the esports seasons for various disciplines kicking off.
