{viewers}

The current viewer count.

{viewers}            the channel the message came from
{viewers:login}      another channel - see "Which channel?" below

Platforms: Twitch and Kick - reads the channel the message came from; name a channel to read the other.

How many people the platform counts as watching right now. 0 when offline. Multistreaming? {viewers:twitch} and {viewers:kick} read each side, so {viewers:twitch} on Twitch + {viewers:kick} on Kick works from either chat.

Example

!viewers  →  {viewers} people are watching right now 👀
!milestone →  {if:{viewers}>=100|Triple digits in here! {repeat:3|PogChamp}|{viewers} strong - bring a friend!}

Refreshes about every 30 seconds, and the platforms’ own counts lag a little behind reality.

Which channel?

Without an argument, the variable reads the channel the message was typed in: in your Kick chat it reads your Kick channel, in your Twitch chat your Twitch channel. The argument picks another:

{viewers:login}          that channel, on the same platform as the message
{viewers:twitch}         your Twitch channel (from either chat)
{viewers:kick}           your Kick channel (from either chat)
{viewers:twitch:login}   a Twitch channel by login
{viewers:kick:slug}      a Kick channel by slug (the name in its URL)

Timers have no “message platform” - they use the platform they’re posting in, so a timer that posts in both chats reads each channel for its own post.
