# Sub goal and follower goal widgets

> Show a Kick sub goal, a follower goal or your sub count on stream with free KickBot widgets, then set the goal, text and colors and add the URL to OBS.

KickBot has three free widgets for goals and counts on your Kick stream. **Simple Sub Goal** shows a progress bar such as "Sub goal 4/10". **Simple Follower Goal** does the same for followers. **Text Sub Count** shows only text, such as "Subs: 25". You install them from the [widget library](https://kickbot.com/dashboard/widget-library) and add each one to OBS as a browser source.

You need a KickBot account with your Kick channel connected. See [Create your account](https://kickbot.com/docs/getting-started/create-your-account).

| Widget | Shows | Size in OBS |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Simple Sub Goal** | A bar with your subs and your goal, for example "Sub goal 4/10" | 1000 × 150 |
| **Simple Follower Goal** | A bar with your followers and your goal, for example "Follower goal 74/100" | 1000 × 150 |
| **Text Sub Count** | Your sub count as text, for example "Subs: 25" | 600 × 200 |

For a follower count as text, use **Text Follower Count**. It is on the [follower count](https://kickbot.com/docs/widgets/follower-count) page.

## Add a goal to OBS

1. Open the [widget library](https://kickbot.com/dashboard/widget-library) and search for `goal` or `sub count`.
2. Click the widget, then click **Install widget**. KickBot adds your own copy to Saved widgets.
3. Open [Saved widgets](https://kickbot.com/dashboard/saved-widgets) and click the widget to open its settings.
4. Set your goal and text, then click **Save**.
5. Under **Browser source URL**, click **Copy URL**.
6. In OBS, add a **Browser** source, paste the URL, and set the width and height from the table above. Click **OK**.

The same URL works in Streamlabs Desktop, Meld Studio and other apps with a browser source. For help with this step, see [Add a browser source to OBS](https://kickbot.com/docs/getting-started/add-browser-source-obs).

> **Caution:** Anyone with the URL can show your widget. Do not show it on stream.

## Sub goal settings

![The Simple Sub Goal settings panel with a preview of Sub goal 1/10 and the Sub Goal, Text, Bar color and Text color fields](https://kickbot.com/docs/images/widgets/goals-and-counts/02-sub-goal-settings.webp "Simple Sub Goal after a Sub test event. Changes show in the preview at once.")

| Setting | What it does | Default |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Widget name** | The name in your Saved widgets list. | Simple Sub Goal |
| **Sub Goal** | The number of subs you want to reach. | 10 |
| **Text** | The label before the numbers. It can be empty. | Sub goal |
| **Bar color** | Color of the filled part of the bar. | `#c1ff00` |
| **Text color** | Color of the text and numbers. | `#ffffff` |
| **Outline color** | Color of the border around the widget. | `#ffffff` |
| **Background color** | Color of the widget behind the text and bar. | `#100c28` |
| **Bar background color** | Color of the empty part of the bar. | `#3d3957` |

The bar fills by the share of the goal you reached. For example, 4 subs with a goal of 10 fills 40% of the bar. When you reach the goal, the bar stays full and the number keeps going up, for example "Sub goal 12/10". Raise **Sub Goal** and click **Save** to set a new goal.

**Simple Follower Goal** has the same settings with **Follower goal** (default 100) instead of **Sub Goal**, and the default text "Follower goal". The full table is on the [follower count](https://kickbot.com/docs/widgets/follower-count) page.

## Text Sub Count settings

| Setting | What it does | Default |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Text** | The text on stream. `{subs}` is replaced by your sub count. | `Subs: {subs}` |
| **Text color** | Color of the text. | `#ffffff` |
| **Text size** | Size of the text, in pixels. | 50 |
| **Text outline** | Adds a dark outline and shadow so the text is easy to read on any background. | On |

Use `{subs}` once in the text. For example, `{subs} subs, thank you!` shows "25 subs, thank you!".

## Which number the widgets count

- **Subs** are your active subscribers on Kick right now, the same total that Kick has for your channel. It is not the number of new subs in this stream. Gifted subs count too.
- **Followers** are your total followers on Kick.

Each new sub adds 1, and each gifted sub adds 1 per gift. When subs end, the count goes down a short time later. The follower goal changes on every follow and unfollow.

To make a goal for one stream, add your target to the number you have now. For example, if you have 40 subs and want 10 more today, set **Sub Goal** to 50.

## Test the widget

Open the widget in Saved widgets. Under **Test events**, click **Sub** or **Gifted sub** for the sub widgets, or **Follow**, **Unfollow** and **Follower count updated** for the follower goal. The preview shows the change.

Test events show only in the preview. They do not go to OBS and do not change your real count.

## Troubleshooting

**The count shows 0.** Right-click the source in OBS and choose **Refresh cache of current page**. The widget gets the number from Kick again. If your channel has no subs yet, 0 is correct.

**The count is behind.** A sub that just ended can still count for a short time. Refresh the source to get the number from Kick again.

**The bar does not move or looks wrong.** Check that the goal is a number higher than 0, then click **Save**. The widget in OBS reloads after you save.

**The widget is cut off.** Set the browser source to the size in the table, for example 1000 × 150. Change the size in the source properties, not by stretching the source.

**Two goals in one scene.** Install the widget twice, or use **Duplicate** in Saved widgets. Each copy has its own URL and settings. See [Widget library](https://kickbot.com/docs/widgets/widget-library).

## FAQ

**How do I add a sub goal to my Kick stream?**

Install **Simple Sub Goal** from the [KickBot widget library](https://kickbot.com/dashboard/widget-library), set **Sub Goal**, click **Save**, copy the URL in Saved widgets, and add it to OBS as a Browser source at 1000 × 150.

**How do I make a follower goal on Kick?**

Install **Simple Follower Goal**, set **Follower goal** to your target, and add its URL to OBS at 1000 × 150. More follower widgets are on the [follower count](https://kickbot.com/docs/widgets/follower-count) page.

**Does the sub goal reset after each stream?**

No. It shows your active subs on Kick, not the subs of one stream. To aim for new subs in one stream, set the goal to your current subs plus your target.

**Are the goal widgets free?**

Yes. The official goal and count widgets are free to install and use.
