The donation goal overlay setup for OBS
Keep a live goal counter on your overlay showing your running total against the target, scroll donor names on a ticker, and burst confetti the second you cross the line. All bumped by hand from one deck — grab a $9 Event Pass for the night.
Start freeHow do you show a donation goal on your stream?
Put a goal counter on your overlay — it renders your running total against the target, like 340 / 1000, and celebrates the moment you cross it. Kloot doesn’t read your donation platform, so you bump the number by hand from your deck. Counters are Creator ($15/mo), or a $9 Event Pass.
Your whole setup, live — every tool fires from one deck. Manual, nothing auto-cycles.
Put the fundraiser total on screen — and celebrate the moment it lands.

Full Pro for 3 days, no subscription. Bump the total as donations land, add donor names to the ticker, and fire confetti when you get there.
Frequently asked
Does the goal update automatically?
No. Kloot doesn’t connect to your donation platform, so nothing reads your totals — you bump the counter by hand from your deck. You stay in control of exactly what’s on screen.
Is it a progress bar?
It’s a goal counter: the overlay shows your running total against the target — 340 / 1000 — and plays a celebration the first time you cross it.
Can I use it for a charity stream?
Yes. If you want the whole night — giveaways to reward donors, sponsor match thank-yous, a Starting Soon screen between pushes — the charity stream setup covers all of it.
Do I need a subscription for one fundraiser?
No — a $9 Event Pass gives you full Pro for 3 days, which covers a fundraiser night end to end.
Which plan do I need?
Counters and the ticker are on Creator ($15/mo); the hype effects are free. The $9 Event Pass covers everything for 3 days.
