Live Streaming Grows 648% Over Last Year

Over the past year, the amount of time American audiences spent watching video for the major live video publishers (Justin.tv, USTREAM, Livestream, LiveVideo, and Stickam) has grown 648 percent to more than 1.4 billion minutes.

By comparison, the amount of time American audiences spent watching YouTube and Hulu increased 68 percent and 75 percent, respectively, over the same time period.

Though the amount of time spent watching live video is still only a small fraction of the total time spent watching online video, its sharp growth indicates viewers’ growing comfort with the content.
