Analytics helps you understand your audience reach, engagement, and channel performance across all your streams. You can view high-level trends for your account or dive deep into the data of a specific individual stream.
How to access Analytics
Go to your Restream home screen.
Click Analytics on the left.
💡 To view Analytics for a specific stream, you can also open Past streams and click any stream card.
Analytics overview
Use the date picker in the top right to filter by 7, 14, 30, or 90 days, or select a Custom range.
At the top of the page, your most recent stream within the selected date range appears. Click it to view its specific Analytics.
Below that are four sections summarizing activity for the selected time range:
Views - Total views across your streams.
Streams - Number of streams and average duration.
Chat Messages - Total messages sent during your streams.
Channels - Channels you streamed to, with a breakdown of stream count, total stream time, and views.
Each section includes a comparison with the previous time period. Hover over charts to view data for individual streams.

Do Analytics work for Custom RTMP channels?
No. Analytics require an API connection to gather data. Since Custom RTMP channels do not use an API, we cannot collect metrics for them.
