Hours During COVID-19 Pandemic Since people are currently having
to self-isolate and spend a lot
of their time indoors, many are passing the time by
either gaming or watching other
people play video games. A popular site for people
to do this is Twitch. The live-streaming video platform has
experienced a large increase in usage,

TwitchTracker and a report by Quartz, Twitch has broadcast over
2 billion hours of footage
since the end of February. In March, the platform experienced
a significant increase in the number of
active streamers compared to previous months.
