Twitter has shared some new insights into how Australian users engage with video content in the app, based on analysis of key usage trends and shifts.

As explained by Twitter:

“Twitter is a video powerhouse with over 3.5 billion video views on Twitter each day. [And] with innovations like the immersive video viewer, which lets people consume even more video on Twitter, time spent on video on Twitter is on the rise: video accounts for 72% of all user sessions globally with a +19% YoY growth in video user active minutes.”

And maybe the most important note:

“Eight out of ten of Australian users say their Twitter usage surges while enjoying their favorite TV shows”
