In 2020, live streaming took off as a popular online entertainment option as the global COVID-19 pandemic forced people to stay at home and look at new ways to occupy their time. Live streams had already been a mainstay in online gaming, and the heightened output of new and pre-existing streamers saw the medium rise to new popularity in 2020. In total, 916 million hours of content were streamed across all major platforms in 2020, representing a 45.4 percent increase from the 629 million hours of content broadcast in 2019.
