Over 143 million viewers watch, at the very least, one video, hosted on websites by Google, such as YouTube, where an overwhelming majority of most online videos can be found.

It may seem like a huge number of viewers, but it remains to be a smaller number when compared to the 144 million people who watched videos from the company's websites last June. Viewers of videos hosted by Google watched more than 1.88 billion times last July of this year. That is an average of 282.7 minutes' worth of viewing for a month for each viewer.

1.81 billion videos were played by people visiting Google's video sites, with 260.9 minutes average time for viewing.

The company that is succeeded by Google when it comes to watching videos online is Yahoo. The Yahoo video sources include Yahoo News and Yahoo TV, both of which had helped them acquire 55 million viewers who watched 238 million videos last July.

One of the surprises came from the data collected regarding people who watched videos on the social networking website Facebook. It has become the fifth most visited site for video watching, with 46 million viewers that are considered unique. Three million people were added to this number over the course of last month, putting it next to Yahoo for video-watching consumption of viewers.

The numbers don't stop there. It seems as if watching videos online has become vogue, so much so that even software giant Microsoft is experiencing a strong growth on people watching videos from their servers, and has tallied over 45 million viewers last month. Last June, it was only able to receive 39 million viewers.

Hulu has placed second to Google, in terms of viewer engagement. The average Hulu viewer and user has at least watched 158 minutes' worth of videos last July.

The market for online-videos has improved in just a matter of months. 84.9% of people using the Internet watched at least a single video in July. An average online video runs about 4.8 minutes long, while ads are at 24 seconds long.
