YouTube counter: frequently asked questions

How do I get a live YouTube subscriber counter on stream?

Add the YouTube counter widget to your overlay, paste your channel's link or handle, then paste your overlay link into an OBS browser source.

Is the YouTube counter updated in real time?

No. It refreshes every 5 to 60 minutes while the editor or the Control Room stays open. The "Refresh" button in the Control Room forces an update. YouTube also rounds the subscriber count it publishes.

Do I need to connect my Google account?

No. The widget reads your channel's public figures. You only enter its link, its handle or its ID.

Can I show the channel's views?

Yes. You choose between subscribers, total views and the number of videos. The dashboard layout shows all three at once.
