Tablets, smartphones, desktops, TVs. With so many gadgets at their fingertips, viewers are watching online video on a bevy of connected gadgets.

But given these options, what do they actually pick up? Ooyala's Q1 Global Video Index has given us a peek into their habits. But now we're back with more, diving into worldwide viewing trends. We've already highlighted how people in Great Britain, France and Australia consume online video, and now we bring you the last of our analysis: Mexico and Latin America.
 
Desktop, mobile phone, tablet online viewing by hour: Mexico
Recent data from Ooyala shows that Mexicans watch more online video on their tablets in the morning and late at night, while desktop video surges during working hours.
 
Mobile video viewed on smart phones also spikes in the morning, as people travel to work. Understanding when people watch online video and on what devices helps video publishers make more informed decisions when they create content strategies.
