How to let a mod run your death counter

Mid-boss you should not be reaching for a key. A co-pilot link hands the counter to someone you trust: a mod, a duo partner, a friend in the room. They open the link on their phone, sign in once with Google or Twitch, and get big −1 / +1 buttons for that one counter. Every press is recorded with their name, and you can switch the link off in one click.

How do you let a mod update your death counter?

In Kloot, open the counter’s editor, go to Co-pilots and add a Mod or VIP link. Send it to your mod privately. They sign in once with Google or Twitch and the link becomes theirs alone, so a forwarded copy does nothing. You can revoke it at any time.

What you’ll build

A mod bumping your counter from their own phone, with their name on every press.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Add a co-pilot link

    Open the counter’s editor and scroll to Co-pilots. Type the person’s name, pick Mod for someone you trust all stream or VIP for a helper capped at 20 presses a day, press Create link, and copy the invite.

  2. 2

    Send it privately

    DM the invite to your mod. The first account that signs in with it claims it; after that only that account can use the link, so a copy pasted into chat is useless to anyone else.

    One link per person. You will see who claimed each link in the Co-pilots list.

  3. 3

    They sign in and press

    Your mod opens the link on their phone, signs in once with Google or Twitch, and taps Accept invite — nothing is claimed until they do. They then see the counter’s value with −1 and +1 buttons, and an Undo for a few seconds after each press.

  4. 4

    Show who bumped it (optional)

    Tick “Show who bumped it on stream” and the overlay shows the co-pilot’s Kloot handle inside the counter for three seconds after each press — never over the game.

  5. 5

    Turn it off when you are done

    Revoke the link in Co-pilots. Their page says the streamer turned it off, and every press they made stays in the counter’s history.

How a counter runs, live

Once it’s built, running a counter is four keys — show it, bump it, correct it, reset it. Here’s the whole loop, and what each side sees.

  1. You put it up· step 1

    Toggle the counter on-screen

    Tap the Show/Hide key when the session starts. The counter fades into its corner at the starting value — label above, number below, styled the way you built it.

    You: Press Show/Hide
    Overlay: Fades into its corner
    Viewers: Sees the score is being kept
  2. You bump it· step 2

    Press +1 the moment it happens

    A kill lands, a win banks, chat loses a bet — you press +1 and the number pulses with a flash of color. You are the source of truth, so it works in every game ever made and never breaks on a patch.

    You: Press +1 as the kill lands
    Overlay: Number pulses + flashes
    Viewers: Catches the moment land
  3. You correct it· step 3

    Fix a miscount instantly

    Double-tapped, or counted one that didn’t count? Press −1 and it steps back with a red flash. No menus, no editing mid-game — the correction is one key, same as the bump.

    You: Press −1
    Overlay: Steps back, red flash
    Viewers: Sees an honest scoreboard
  4. You reset· step 4

    Reset for the next game

    Match over — press Reset and the counter snaps back to its starting value for the next round. Leave it on screen between games or toggle it off; the counter keeps its style and corner for next stream.

    You: Press Reset between matches
    Overlay: Snaps back to the start
    Viewers: Fresh score, new game

What streamers count

Anything with a number worth watching climb. The counters that earn their corner:

Kills & wins per session

When: Shooters, battle royales, ranked grinds — any stream where tonight has a score.

Why it works: A running kill or win count gives the whole session a scoreboard. Viewers who join at hour three instantly know how it’s going.

The deaths counter

When: Souls-likes, roguelikes, rage games — anywhere chat is counting your failures anyway.

Why it works: It’s the chat-favorite running joke: every death bumps the number, and the number becomes the story of the stream. Own the bit before chat does.

Challenge streams

When: Push-ups per death, jump-scare tallies, “every time I say the word” counters.

Why it works: The challenge only works if the count is public and live. One key per event keeps it honest — and the climbing number is the content.

Subathon & goal tracking

When: Sub goals, donation milestones, “100 wins this month” arcs.

Why it works: Set a goal and the counter shows “86 / 100” with a celebration when it crosses the line — so the whole room is watching the same finish line.

The counters you can run

Wins, deaths, a huge challenge number, or a goal with a finish line — every preview below is the real overlay renderer, ticking live in your colors.

Wins — the clean scoreboard

The classic session tracker: green number, quiet label, pulse on every bump.

Deshawn runs ranked nights with “Wins” top-left all session. Every victory is one press of +1 — and clips of the win always have the score in frame.

One +1 key bumps it live

Deaths — the running joke

Red accent, flash animation — the number chat came to watch climb.

MaraPlays keeps a “Deaths” counter through every Souls run. Chat spams the skull each time it flashes, and the final number is the stream title tomorrow.

Challenge — the big number

Number size up to 120px, label below — readable from a phone stream at arm’s length.

“Push-ups” at 72px for a fitness-forfeit stream: Kai taps +1 as each rep lands, and the huge number is legible even on the IRL cam.

Reset key clears it for round two
Goal 100 · confetti at the line
New subs96 / 100

Goal — the finish line

Set a target and the counter shows “value / goal” — with a celebration when it crosses.

A subathon with “New subs 96 / 100” on screen: Tasha bumps it as subs land, and the confetti burst fires itself the moment the count reaches the goal.

Celebration fires on the goal — no extra key

Common mistakes to avoid

  • ✕Posting the invite in public chat before your mod opens it — whoever signs in first claims it. Revoke and issue a new one if that happens.
  • ✕Giving a VIP link to someone who needs to count all stream — VIP stops at 20 presses a day; use a Mod link.
  • ✕Expecting your mod to start the next boss for you — segments and sessions stay on your side.

Frequently asked

Can chat vote on the count?

No. Only people you name get a link. Kloot counters are counted by trusted people, never by the crowd.

Does my mod need an account?

They sign in once with Google or Twitch and accept the invite — nothing is claimed until they do. After that the link works only for their account, so a copy pasted anywhere else is useless.

Can a co-pilot reset the counter or change it?

No. A co-pilot gets +1, −1 and an Undo for a few seconds after each press. Reset, the styling, segments and everything else stay with you.

Can they run more than one of my counters?

A link is for one counter. Send a second invite from the other counter’s editor if you want them on both.

Which plan is this on?

Co-pilot links are part of Creator (5 links) and Pro (20). The counter itself, and bumping it yourself from your deck or phone, stay free.
