Peak and average concurrent viewers in a livestream
Peak concurrent viewers is the highest number of viewers watching a livestream at one time. Average concurrent viewers is the average number watching at the same time across the whole session. Those are TikTok Shop’s US definitions. Shopee’s Live Dashboard shows Concurrent users (CCU).
