2、 and social media among them. Both have experienced colossal peaks and treacherous valleys in the first half of 2020. The year has also been marked by significant decline in global advertising demand, the ascendance of smart TVs, the continued market share dominance of connected TV devices like Roku

3、 and Fire TV, and the changing ways viewers are connecting with social platforms. In addition, new areas explored in this report include a six-month view of growth in time spent streaming as impacted by COVID-19, expanded regional benchmarks including South America, YouTube device viewership breakdo

4、wn, and how professional sports teams are socializing sports with no sports. Highlights include: Global time spent streaming surged 63% year over year as April posted a banner month, up 81%, while May and June clocked more modest increases of 58% and 49% respectively as national shelter-in-place man

5、dates relaxed. Global ad demand was heavily impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly with the lack of live sports, which caused ad attempts to plummet 28% in a single quarter, comparing Q2 to Q1 2020. The United States fared slightly better, but advertising still dipped 22% over the same time

6、 period in that region. The smart TV category enjoyed a 239% surge in viewing time as more viewers were watching natively within their smart TVs. In turn, global share of smart TV viewing more than doubled, from 7% in Q2 2019 to 15% in Q2 2020. Connected TV devices, headlined by Roku, Amazon Fire TV

7、, Apple TV, and Chromecast, dominated streaming viewership with a 61% spike to maintain nearly 50% share of global viewing time in Q2. The leaders in the category, Roku and Fire TV, remained neck and neck in growth, each up 63%, with 49% and 29% respective share of the category. Television now accou

8、nts for more than a quarter of all viewing time on YouTube. While mobile YouTube viewing remains robust with 59% share, the draw of the big screen led viewing on connected TVs and consoles to grow to 27% share in Q2 2020 from 16% the prior Q2, a 69% increase. European professional sports played much

9、 better than their North American counterparts in the first half of 2020. As sports returned to Europe, social engagements increased by 64% in June as compared to their 2020 low in April. Conversely, social engagements for North American professional sports bottomed out with their year low in June,

10、down more than 71% from January, with the return of NBA and MLB slated for late July. A notable bright spot for North American leagues on social media was the NFL Draft in late April, as the NFL teams surpassed NBA teams in total engagements for the only time during the year. Streaming further harne

Time spent streaming in Q2 spiked 63% year over year globally, with growth led by Europe, up 134%. North America also pos

21、(up 81% over the previous year), May and June clocked more modest increases of 58% and 49% respectively. The uptick in viewing time was led by Europe which tallied a 174% increase year over year in April and remained robust throughout Q2, with June still ascending 122% from June 2019. In nearly all

22、regions, April represented the peak of streaming growth, in accordance with many shelter-in-place orders across the globe. In April, viewers spent 73% more time streaming in North America, 45% more in Africa, 38% more in South America, and 12% more in Asia as compared to the previous April. These st

25、pandemic in Q2, particularly with the lack of live sports. This dearth of games helped cause global ad attempts to plummet 28% in a single quarter comparing Q2 to Q1 2020. The United States fared slightly better, but advertising still ebbed 22% over the same time period in that region. Recent launch

26、es of subscription-based services may have drawn eyeballs from hybrid and wholly ad-supported services in Q2, but we expect this will also revert to the norm as sports return and recession-conscious viewers increasingly guard their purse strings. Advertising Inroads On the quality front, streaming p

27、ublishers and the ad ecosystem made considerable progress in delivering higher quality advertising to viewers. Ad start times improved so that viewers spent 9% less time waiting for the ad to start in Q2 as compared to Q1 2020. Consequently, viewer-initiated exits before ad started dropped 14% in th

28、e same time period. In Q2, ad buffering improved marginally, down 3% while ad picture quality improved significantly, with bitrate up 53%. Higher bitrate is often driven by increased consumption on large screens, as bitrate is significantly higher on these devices. Q2 brought a 12% increase in ad im

29、pressions served on connected TVs and a 12% drop in ad impressions on desktop and mobile. Even with improvements in quality, streaming advertising still struggled with missed ad opportunities. Although slightly improved from 46.3% in Q1, nearly 45% of ad opportunities were not capitalized upon in Q2

30、. The most common issue continued to be the lack of ad demand leading to wrapper and VAST errors as publishers tried to fill ad slots, but no ads were available. These errors adversely affected the experience as viewers often faced a lag in waiting for multiple requests that ultimately went unfilled

Even as the shelter-in-place orders around the world drove time spent streaming higher than ever, peak viewership did not surpass 2019s heights in Q2. Between the lack of live sports and viewers watching at their leisure, on t

34、heir own time rather than a prescribed schedule, viewership was more balanced throughout the day with less large spikes. Comparatively, in Q2 2019 peak viewership broke records four times over, coinciding with the final season of a dramatic series that was truly a cant-miss, global cultural phenomen

35、on. Big Screen Reigns Supreme As viewers were relegated to their homes for much of Q2, it was televisions that commanded their attention. The smart TV category experienced a 239% increase in viewing time as more viewers watched natively within their smart TVs. This large increase drove global share

36、of viewing via smart TV to more than double, from 7% in Q2 2019 to 15% in Q2 2020. Connected TV devices like Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, and Chromecast, among others, garnered a 61% increase and maintained nearly 50% share of global viewing time in Q2. Tablets, like Amazon Fire Tablet, Android T

37、ablet, and Apple iPad, and gaming consoles, like Xbox and PlayStation, also maintained their share of year-over- year viewing. Tablets netted a 66% increase year over year, to maintain a modest 5% share, and gaming consoles recorded a 55% increase year over year to keep 11% share of global viewing.

38、On the other side, mobile, up 22%, and desktop, up 17% in year-over-year viewing time both declined in overall share as increasingly home-bound viewers opted for TVs rather than smaller screens. Mobile viewing time declined from 13% share to 10%, while desktop dropped to 10% from 14% the Q2 prior. I

39、n Q2, the preferred device type for streaming varied by continent. The TV category continued to dominate in South America with 40% share of time spent viewing. Connected TV devices owned the largest share of devices in both North America, capturing 56% of viewing, and in Europe, with 32%. In Asia an
