Yes, when viewers watch your livestream on YouTube, it counts as watch time hours for the YouTube Partner Program (YPP). The more time viewers spend watching your livestream, the more it contributes to your overall watch time on YouTube, which is important for meeting the requirements of the YPP.

Yes, the time viewers spend watching your livestream on YouTube does count towards the watch time hours for the YouTube Partner Program (YPP) and monetization eligibility.

Yes, viewers watching your livestreams count towards your YouTube watch time for making money. Public and unlisted livestreams count, as long as they're not private videos. But only livestreams that are at least 3 minutes long count, Short livestreams won't count.

Yes, for sure. When people watch your live streams, it is counted as watch time on your channel.
