The survey evaluated 10 online video markets around the world, revealing Canada to have the most engaged viewers.

However, Turkey topped the list for having the highest percentage of internet users who watched online videos during the month measured, at 93.6%. Canada ranked second with 90.9% and the U.S. ranked eighth on the list of measured markets, with 88%.

Globally, ComScore found that 1.2 billion people aged 15 or older watched 201.4 billion videos online during the month of October.

YouTube was the most-watched online video service, with 88.3 billion videos viewed during the month, serving up two out of every five videos viewed worldwide.

China’s Youku was the second-most-watched online video property, with 4.6 billion videos viewed in October.  Facebook wasn’t too far behind, though, with 2.6 billion videos viewed during the month.
