How to add it to OBS, Streamlabs or Meld
- Set it up above, then press Copy link.
- In OBS Studio, click + under Sources and choose Browser. In Streamlabs Desktop, add a Browser Source; in Meld Studio, add a Browser layer.
- Paste the link into the URL box and set the width and height shown under the link.
- Leave "Shutdown source when not visible" off. If it is on, live alerts and goals stop whenever you switch scenes.
- Drag it where you want it and resize it with the red handles. The background is transparent, so only the text shows.
It also works as a Twitch Studio, PRISM Live or vMix browser input. Gear that pairs well: a Stream Deck or a free OBS install. Disclosure. Your settings are saved in this browser, so you can come back and change them; after changing settings, paste the new link into the source.
How the goal counts
Every sub, resub and gift sub announced in your Twitch or Kick chat adds one, and a mass gift of 10 adds 10. In Bits mode, cheers add their Bit amount; in combined mode, 500 Bits count as one sub, close to what a tier 1 sub earns a streamer. When the bar fills, the title switches to your "reached" text and the bar glows.
Example: a goal of 50 subs starting from 12 shows 12 / 50, about a quarter full. Five gifted subs move it to 17 / 50 straight away.
How it hears your chat: the overlay connects to your Twitch or Kick chat the same anonymous, read-only way a logged-out viewer does. It never posts, needs no login or token, and sees subs, gift subs and Bits as they're announced in chat. Commands only work for you (the broadcaster) and your moderators.
| Chat command (broadcaster and mods) | What it does |
|---|---|
!goal +3 / !goal -1 | Adds or removes, for subs from another platform or a correction |
!goal set 20 | Sets the count exactly |
!goalreset | Back to the "already have" number |
Progress is saved inside OBS, so it survives restarts. To change the goal itself, edit it above and paste the new link into the source; the count carries over.
Frequently asked questions
Does the goal bar count gift subs?
Yes, each gifted sub counts as one, and you can turn that off. A 10-sub gift bomb adds 10.
Can it track followers?
Yes, with a Twitch connection: follows aren't announced in chat, so connect Twitch once at /connect/twitch, choose "Follows" and tick "Use my Twitch connection". Mods can also adjust it with !goal +1.
Does it work for Kick?
Yes. Kick subs and gifted subs fill the bar automatically.
