Meistgesehen

Meistgesehen is a German term used as a label on online media platforms to indicate content with the highest number of views within a defined scope. The word combines meist, meaning “most,” with gesehen, the past participle of sehen, meaning “seen,” and is commonly translated as “most viewed.”

Usage and scope

Meistgesehen is typically used as a navigation or sorting option on video portals, streaming services, news portals, and other content sites. It can refer to content ordered by view counts over different time frames such as today, this week, this month, or all time. Some platforms distinguish between all-time most viewed and time-limited top items, while others use the term as a general category for popular content.

Data and methodology

The ranking behind Meistgesehen is usually based on view counts or views per item. Some platforms may use additional metrics such as unique viewers, watch time, or completion rate, and counts may be subject to updates, re-counts, or normalization. Users should note that view counts are approximate indicators of popularity and do not measure quality or viewer satisfaction directly.

Relation to other terms

Meistgesehen is related to, but distinct from, labels like Meistgelesen (most-read), Meistgeklickt (most-clicked), or Beliebt (popular). The exact wording and availability of a Meistgesehen section can vary by platform or publisher and may be localized to German-language interfaces.
