The Viewer Counter shows how many people are watching right now, directly on your OBS screen. Kick and YouTube are supported; if you stream on both, each appears separately with its own icon.

How to set it up

Choose which platforms to count (if you select none, every connected streaming platform is shown).
Optionally add a prefix — for example "Viewers:".
Set the theme, number font and animation to match your channel identity.
Copy the OBS link and add it to your scene via Add source → Browser.

What happens during the stream

The number refreshes from the platform API at regular intervals — no need to reload the OBS source. On YouTube the value only arrives while you're live; before that the platform icon still shows with a zero so you can arrange your scene in advance.

FAQ

Why is the number slightly different from Kick's own page? Platform viewer counts are delayed and approximate; a few seconds of difference between two screens is normal.
I only want to show one platform. Tick just that one in the platform selection.
Can I match it to my stream theme? Yes — theme, number font and animation are all selected separately.
