[Feature Suggestion] Viewers counter #196

I've been using this app for my past 2 live streams and it's been amazing, the only problem is that it doesn't have a counter for the viewers inside the live stream and I have to use an external service for that.

Thank you for the feature request

At the moment I have the Hype meter, which shows the number of active chatters.

I'll eventually have support for viewers for Twitch, and then Youtube, and maybe others down the road, however it is quite challenging to support viewer totals accurately for most platforms as that data just isn't provided or isn't easily accessible.

As I add more official API integrations, using social sign in, I should be able to offer more such details.

Sorry for the late reply, I'd love to get rid of the bot I'm currently using for the viewer counter but I just can't find any alternative with a kick counter. The problem with the current bot I'm using is that it has access to my YouTube account and every time I start live streaming it sends a message though chat using my account. I would appreciate a lot if both kick and YouTube counters get added, I don't mind if its going to take a lot of time. Thanks.
