VOD, Explained

VOD — video on demand — is what a live stream becomes when it ends: a recorded video anyone can watch later. The broadcast is the event; the VOD is its afterlife, and on platforms with strong libraries the afterlife often collects more total views than the live moment did.

The metric handover

While live, the stream shows concurrent viewers; the moment it ends, that number vanishes and the accumulated view count carries on growing like any upload. Our video tracker follows the same handover automatically — live stats during the broadcast, view growth after.

Making VODs work

Streamers who title and thumbnail their VODs like real uploads (or cut them into highlights) turn every broadcast into library content — the core of the stream growth playbook.
