The death counter setup for OBS
Put a live Deaths counter on your overlay, hit +1 from your phone the moment you go down, and burst confetti when you finally take the boss. One browser source, and nothing reading your game.
Start freeHow do you keep a death count on stream?
Put a counter on your overlay and bump it with one tap. In Kloot that's one OBS browser source: label it Deaths, set the colors, and pin +1 to a deck key you can hit from your phone without leaving the game. Add a confetti burst for the boss kill. Creator, $15/mo.
Your whole setup, live — every tool fires from one deck. Manual, nothing auto-cycles.
Keep the death count on screen — and bump it without leaving the game.
The usual death-count bookkeeping
Chat keeping the count for you
A live number on your overlay that’s always right
Alt-tabbing to edit a text source
One tap on your phone, still in the game
Beating the boss with no payoff
Confetti the second the run ends
The tools you’ll fire
Live in three steps
Add your Kloot overlay to OBS once
Paste your single overlay URL into a Browser source. The same source powers your counter, your text line and your effects.
Build the counter
Label it Deaths (or Kills, or Attempts), set the number and label colors, drop it in a corner, and pin +1, −1 and Reset to deck keys.
Play
Hit +1 from your phone or a second monitor the moment you go down — no alt-tab — and fire confetti when the run finally ends.

Frequently asked
Does it count deaths automatically?
No — Kloot doesn’t read your game, so you bump the counter by hand. That’s deliberate: nothing can miscount, and the number on screen is always the one you meant.
Can I bump it from my phone?
Yes. The deck runs in a browser, so prop your phone beside your keyboard and tap +1 without alt-tabbing out of the game.
Can I count kills or attempts instead?
Yes — label it whatever you like: kills, deaths, attempts, wins, wipes. It’s the same counter with your word on it.
Can I reset it between runs?
Yes — Reset is its own deck key, so one tap takes it back to your starting value for the next attempt.
Which plan do I need?
Counters are on Creator ($15/mo). The hype effects and a text overlay are included on Free.
