FAQ
Which live streaming platforms are the most popular?
Popular Asia livestreaming platforms?
SOOP Korea (formerly AfreecaTV) and Naver's CHZZK dominate the South Korean market since Twitch ceased operations in February 2023. During the last 30 days, Naver's CHZZK recorded 130 millions of watch time, while SOOP Korea recorded around 101 millions of hours watched. TikTok is also rapidly gaining popularity for live streaming across the Asian continent.
YouTube vs Twitch: which platform is bigger?
It depends on how you measure 'bigger'. YouTube leads in overall watch time and has a broader audience, with around 80% of streams being non-gaming related. However, Twitch dominates the live gaming market and has a highly engaged gaming community. While YouTube offers more diverse monetization options, Twitch's subscription model is a significant revenue source for many streamers.
