Tracking this channel since . Last updated .
This channel is being tracked. Charts and statistics will build as more data is collected. How these numbers are calculated.
Every figure below is measured from broadcasts we observed. Percentage changes appear only where the previous period had enough data to compare against.
Across 3 tracked streams
Last counted 16 hours ago
On 3 days in this period
Highest peak we have tracked: 244 viewers on August 16, 2026.
All-time figures cover only what we have observed since we began tracking this channel on . They are not the channel’s lifetime totals on Twitch.
Daily figures for the last 7 days. A day we never observed is drawn as a gap, never as a zero.
TechTangents, last 7 days.
Total followers recorded each day over the last 7 days.
The axis starts at zero, so a week of growth on a large channel looks small — which is the honest reading.

How much chat this channel produces for its audience, and how steady its viewer count is. Both are observations, not judgements.
Median for similar channels: 17.3
Median across measured channels: 2.32
Variation in the viewer count between readings, relative to what an audience of independent people would produce. Higher means more variation.
Chat figures come from sampling the public chat of TechTangents for short windows; they count accounts that sent a message, not people watching silently, and most of any audience watches silently. What these numbers do and do not mean.
Generated from the figures on this page. No estimate is stated more precisely than the measurement supports, and nothing here claims a cause.

Times are UTC. Average and peak viewers come from periodic sampling of the live broadcast, so they are close estimates rather than exact platform figures. A stream marked “partial data” had gaps in our sampling; the unobserved time is excluded from its averages rather than filled in.
Rows marked “Archive” come from Twitch’s public VOD record. Date and duration are exact; viewership was not tracked at the time.
