The Amazon-owned streaming platform hit all-time highs in total hours watched, streamed and concurrent viewers over the first quarter of 2020, as millions"shelter in place" to fight the spread of the virus.

Over the period, Twitch accounted for 65 percent of total streaming hours watched and 72 percent of total hours streamed, topping competitors YouTube Gaming, Facebook Gaming and Microsoft's Mixer platform.
Twitch was not the only streamer to see an increase. Across multiple platforms, numbers were up in Q1 as more viewers, and streamers, were encouraged to "shelter in place" at their homes.

Hours streamed on the platform also increased by 14 percent, to 14 million.
