Add a compact live state and viewer count to a feed, camera or screen capture without rebuilding the surrounding player UI.
Live Viewer Badge is useful in stream promos, mock-ups and edited highlights where the audience size is part of the context. Use an accurate or clearly illustrative count and place the badge near an edge with steady contrast. Its restraint makes it believable; there is no need to add a second flashing live marker elsewhere.
Write the count the way the platform shows it, 1.2K watching rather than 1,234 viewers. If the number is illustrative, keep it plausible for your channel. Place the badge near a corner with steady contrast, and do not add a second live marker elsewhere in the frame.
Live Viewer Badge is built at 640 × 360, a 16:9 landscape frame, the shape of a YouTube video, a stream layout and most editing timelines, and runs 3 seconds at 30 frames per second. It arrives in 0.7 seconds, holds for 1.3 and clears in 1.0, so cue it a beat before the moment it labels. Export it as an MP4 for a timeline or a feed, a GIF where video will not embed, or a MOV with an alpha channel to lay it over footage with nothing behind it. Renders go up to 4K, and the free plan exports at 720p with a watermark.
Yes. The dot breathes while the badge is on screen, which is what sells it as live. The count itself is static text.
Not on its own. The count is a text field. For a rising figure, export two or three versions and cut between them, or use one of the counter templates.
