Problem. Choosing a Premiere or live-stream slot from audience activity. Conditions. YouTube Studio > Analytics > Audience. Method. Open the Audience tab; the report shows when viewers are online across YouTube (not only on your channel) over the last 28 days; YouTube names Premiere and live-stream planning and community building as uses. Failure modes. The fetched Audience page gives no time-zone basis, minimum-audience threshold or refresh cadence for this report, so do not assume the displayed hours are in your local zone or that small channels get a populated chart (inference, see E3). Limitations. Other Audience reports use 28-day or 7-day windows (monthly audience: previous 28 days from latest selected day). Version/date. Page fetched 2026-10-24; page carries no revision date.
