Multi-Streaming Chat Engagement Scorecard for Restream in 2026

Score your multi-stream chat engagement across platforms. Measure chat rate, viewer retention, follower conversion, and get an overall engagement grade.

Mathematical Audit

How the Chat Engagement Score Is Calculated

The scorecard combines five weighted metrics—chat activity, viewer retention, follower conversion, platform breadth, and stream duration—into a 0–100 engagement score.

Messages Per Minute = Total Chat Messages ÷ Stream Duration (minutes)
Chat Rate = (Total Messages ÷ Average Viewers) × 100
Viewer Retention = (Average Viewers ÷ Peak Viewers) × 100
Follower Conversion = (New Followers ÷ Average Viewers) × 100
Engagement Score = Chat Score (30) + Retention Score (25) + Follower Score (20) + Platform Score (15) + Duration Score (10)

Scores above 80 are rated Excellent, 60–79 Good, 40–59 Average, and below 40 Needs Improvement. The scoring weights emphasize chat activity and viewer retention as the strongest indicators of audience engagement.
