People Now Watch Videos Nearly 30 Percent Longer On Tablets Than Desktops

stone-tablets1It may come as no surprise, but Americans are watching more and more online video. In fact, they're practically jonesin' for it. According to comScore's numbers, 182 million Americans watched online video content in September (for an average of 19.5 hours per viewer), while the U.S. video audience tallied a total of 39.8 billion video views. But what may be a bit more surprising is the extent to which people are now watching their video on tablets.From Ooyala's study comes a number of interesting interesting conclusions. First and foremost, tablets are seeing a significantly higher level of engagement in online video viewing, as tablet viewers watch longer than viewers of desktops or mobile devices. For each minute watched on a desktop, tablets recorded "1:17 in played content", which works out to 28 percent longer than the desktop average.
