How to Use Counters

Counters are one of the most popular features for streamers. Whether you’re tracking deaths in a challenging game or counting wins in a tournament, Vision makes it easy.

​

​
Letting Your Mods Help

One of Vision’s unique features is collaboration. You can grant your moderators permission to help manage counters.
  1. Go to Permissions → Roles
  2. Use a prebuilt role or create a custom one. Make sure the role has the permission to view overlays and edit them, or only allow modifying scores
  3. Click on users and invite your moderator

​
Styling

Vision allows styling all layers, including counters. You can change the font, color, background color, and in-/out-animations. Counter layers also have a Mono-Font, which is used for the numbers. Via Advanced → Theme you can select one of the other presets or style it the way you want with Custom CSS.

​
Stream Deck Integration

Vision also supports Stream Deck devices. You can install the Vision Stream Deck Plugin to interact with your overlay layers and modify your counters in real-time.

​
Chat-Bot

The Vision Chat-Bot feature allows you to create commands that read or modify your counters. For example, you can create a command that returns the current score of your counter. You can also create timers that update the counter at a certain time interval.
