How to count concurrent online players in Playfab

We are using Playfab for a game and we want to get the concurrent online player count for both Android and iOS. Which means at any time, we want to know how many players are playing our game on both platform.

What's the easiest way to do this in Playfab?

PlayFab is a service based on Restful API, which is stateless, and there is no built-in feature that can track concurrent online players. The concurrent online players are a terminology more suitable for a MMO game, while with PlayFab, it is practical to review the DAU rather than concurrent online number. You may navigate to [Game Manager] -> [Dashboard] -> [Trends] or [reports] to see the analytical data.
