Co-Viewing
When more than one person watches the same screen, often modeled with a co-viewing factor to estimate people reached per CTV impression.

Short answer
Co-viewing occurs when more than one person watches the same screen at once, which is common with connected TV in living rooms. Because a single CTV impression may reach several people, measurement providers often apply a co-viewing factor to estimate the number of people reached per impression rather than counting one viewer each.
