Counters

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.

Getting Started

1. Create a new overlay or open an existing one
2. In the left toolbar select "Add Score" or click on the "+" icon and select the Score Layer there
3. Drag the counter to your desired location
4. Rename your layer or set a custom text
5. Save your overlay and update the counter in the toolbar over the layer when something happens in-game

Letting Your Mods Help

One of Vision's unique features is collaboration. You can grant your moderators permission

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 other presets or you style it like you want with Custom CSS.

Stream Deck Integration

Vision also supports the 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 which returns the current score of your counter.

Also you are able to create timers which update the counter in a certain time interval.
