Best time to stream Games + Demos

The strongest window for Games + Demos is Thursday at 04:00 UTC: about 29.6K viewers across 1.5 live channels, or 19.7K viewers per channel. That is 5 times the weekly average of 4K viewers per channel, so a stream in that hour competes with fewer channels for each viewer.

The next best windows are Thursday at 03:00 UTC (16.8K viewers per channel) and Thursday at 02:00 UTC (7.4K viewers per channel). All times in this summary are UTC.

Viewers per channel is a ratio, not a promise. An hour with a small audience and even fewer live channels can score well, so switch the heatmap to Viewers before you plan around a quiet hour: a high ratio built on a small audience still means a small audience. Competition shows the other side, the hours when the most Games + Demos channels are live at once.

Treat the top windows as a starting point for a test rather than a rule. Stream your usual Games + Demos content in one of them for two or three weeks and compare your average viewers with your current slot. The numbers are rebuilt every night from the last 28 days, so the windows follow the audience as it shifts.
