Hello,
I am using the Unity SDK and I would like to know how the average screen time presented in the "Trends" page is calculated?
I have already had a look at that question but it does not answer my question.
I have read this blog post that confirms the way I thought the session time was calculated but I still have some questions.
How is the session length calculated?
For example, if a user logs in and play 10 minutes straight then closes the app I imagine the session will be 10 minutes long.
However what happens if a user logs in, plays 5 minutes, sends the app in the background and then sometime later plays another 5 minutes. Does this count as two sessions of 5 minutes each or does this count as one session of 10 minutes?
I would like to know because that will change the average session time value.
Secondly, I would like to know if the average session time is calculated per user who played the game on particular day or for the total number of users.
For example, say I have 500 players and only 10 of them play for 20 minutes on the 14th of September, will the average session time be calculated as follows:
20 minutes x 10 users / 10 (users that played on that day) = 20 minutes average session time
or
20 minutes x 10 users / 500 (total number of users) = 24 seconds average session time
The infobox in the "Trends" page says:
I am not clear on what per user means here.
Cheers,
Tristan
