Viewer Bot

Overview

The Viewer Bot increases your live viewer count by sending simulated viewers to your stream. It's the most popular tool for growing your channel's visibility and attracting organic viewers.

delay"min-max" format, delay in seconds between each viewer joining
viewerlistTwitch onlyWhen enabled, viewers will appear in the viewer list of your stream (on by default)

How Delay Works

The delay parameter controls how quickly viewers join your stream. It uses a "min-max" format where a random value between min and max is chosen for each viewer.

"1-1"

Exactly 1 second between each viewer (1 viewer per second)

"0-5"

Random delay between 0-5 seconds (average 2.5 seconds per viewer)

"5-10"

Random delay between 5-10 seconds (slower, more natural growth)

Key insight: What matters is the average delay. A "0-5" delay averages to 2.5 seconds, so sending 100 viewers would take approximately 250 seconds (about 4 minutes).

ViewerlistTwitch only

The Viewerlist option makes your bot viewers appear directly in the viewer list of your Twitch stream. This makes the traffic look more legitimate and natural, as real viewers browsing your stream will see usernames in the viewer list, just like organic viewers.

Enabled by default

Viewerlist is turned on by default for all Twitch viewer bot instances. You can toggle it off if you only need the viewer count without appearing in the viewer list.

Viewerlist feature demo

This feature is only available on Twitch. Kick does not expose a public viewer list, so the option is not shown for Kick channels.

Platform Recommendations

KickRecommendations

  • Never send more than 2x your real viewers
  • Viewer count refreshes every 5 minutes, be patient
  • Gradual increases work better than sudden spikes

General Recommendations (Both Platforms)

  • New stream (just started): You can use zero or low delay since viewer spikes at stream start are natural
  • Stream running for a while: NEVER use zero delay, it causes suspicious spikes in your viewer graph
  • Maintain coherence: You can't jump from a 20 average viewer channel to 100 overnight without raising flags
  • Increase gradually: Grow your viewer count day by day, not all at once

Common Mistakes

Not understanding average delay

A "0-10" delay doesn't mean viewers join instantly, it averages to 5 seconds per viewer.

Using zero delay on established streams

This creates an unnatural spike that's easy to detect. Always use some delay after the first few minutes.

Not maintaining viewer coherence over time

Jumping from 20 to 200 viewers overnight looks suspicious. Grow gradually.

Tips

Take your time. This is a growth tool, not magic. Patience and consistency will give you the best results.

For Kick: Be patient, the viewer count only refreshes every 5 minutes. Don't panic if you don't see changes immediately.
