The strongest window for Among Us is Thursday at 17:00 UTC: about 6.5K viewers across 1 live channel, or 6.5K viewers per channel. That is 1.9 times the weekly average of 3.5K viewers per channel, so a stream in that hour competes with fewer channels for each viewer.

How long do Among Us streams take to peak?
Median concurrent viewers by hour into the stream across tracked Among Us channels — viewership typically peaks in hour 6. Streams shorter than that often end before their audience arrives.
How to use these Among Us numbers
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 Among Us channels are live at once.
Treat the top windows as a starting point for a test rather than a rule. Stream your usual Among Us 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.
How this is measured
Based on hourly concurrent-viewer samples of 11 tracked Among Us channels on Twitch over the last 28 days (102 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.
