We sit in the room while a streaming app is actually watched.

Utility Canvascore keeps the record of app analytics for streaming app watch behavior by sharing the sofa, the remote, and the pauses — not by guessing from a corridor meeting.

When a title drops in Malaysia, households do not behave like a press screening. Someone scrolls a phone at minute twelve. A child bargains for one more episode. The “Skip Intro” button is hit before the theme has a chance. We write down what happens, in order, and hand you a brief you can argue with.

Flagship study

The full watch-behavior study

Three to five evenings with households who already use the app you care about. We note when an episode is abandoned, when a profile is swapped, when subtitles go on, and when the room simply stops looking. You receive a written brief, a timed log, and a working session with your scheduler or producer.

This is the study most Malaysian streamers commission before a heavy local original, a sports window, or a redesign of the home row. It is not a lecture on “the audience.” It is a record of particular living rooms.

Shorter visits when the question is narrower

A drop-off review, a launch week, or a single household evening can sit beside the full study. Choose the visit that matches the title you are about to put on the home row.

Episode drop-off review

A short sitting focused on the minutes where an episode loses the room — pauses, kitchen trips, and the point the remote is put down.

Launch-week viewing watch

We keep company with households during a title’s first seven days, including a Friday night and a tired weeknight, and write what actually got played.

Household profile evening

One recruited home, one observer, a full night’s log of who watches under which profile and who never logs out.

From a Tuesday in Damansara

The episode ended. Nobody reached for the next one.

“They liked the show. They still stood up, boiled water, and opened a different title. The autoplay timer ran out on an empty sofa.”

A drama team had asked why completion looked healthy while season-to-season return did not. In the room, the reason was ordinary: the credits were long, the kettle won, and the next episode art showed a face nobody in the household recognised. We wrote that sequence into the brief. The following season they shortened the hold and put a familiar character on the end card.
