For the first time, US adults will spend more time per day with digital video than with TV this year, according to our forecast, as the cord-cutting revolution takes hold. Total time spent with digital video and TV will remain just over 6 hours per day, the same amount it’s been since 2020.

Beyond the chart: Of the 3 hours, 11 minutes spent each day with digital video, the biggest share will take place on connected devices like smart TVs and game consoles, rather than on desktops, laptops, or mobile devices.
