How long do Photomaly streams take to peak?
Median concurrent viewers by hour into the stream across tracked Photomaly channels — viewership typically peaks in hour 5. Streams shorter than that often end before their audience arrives.
How this is measured
Based on hourly concurrent-viewer samples of 15 tracked Photomaly channels on Twitch over the last 28 days (84 samples). Cells observed on fewer than 2 distinct days show as “no data” — a sampling gap is not the same as an empty timeslot. Numbers describe the channels we track, not all of Twitch, and skew toward established streamers.
