In the dynamic world of live streaming, engaging your audience with up-to-date information is crucial. One way to enhance viewer interaction is by displaying the latest follower in your stream overlay. Streamer.bot, a powerful automation tool for streamers, can help you achieve this seamlessly.

2. OBS Studio (or similar streaming software): Ensure it’s set up for your stream.
3. Twitch Account: Connected to Streamer.bot for fetching follower data.
