2. Analyze account placement area


For people who run live , it is very important to analyze the followers area from time to time. For example, in our screenshots, a large part of the viewing videos are from the United States, while the audiences distributed in Europe, Canada and Mexico account for a relatively small proportion. When such accounts are go live in the US market, the audience is very concentrated.
3. Analyze the most active hours of your exclusive audience
