Step by step
- 01
Separate the historical tutorial
Nicole Rojas | YouTube | 0:31 ↗The video shows an older interface and historical Plus Program figures. Check current rules. This guide creates a Total Subs goal, which Twitch treats separately from a Plus Program goal.
What you should see: You separate the tool from old conditions.
- 02
Locate your data
Nicole Rojas | YouTube | 1:03 ↗Review the current subscriber total before choosing a number. Pick a jump you can explain, such as moving from 8 to 10 during a subathon. State what happens when it is reached without promising income.
What you should see: You have a real starting point.

Open goal management
Nicole Rojas | YouTube | 2:06 ↗In Stream Manager, open Quick Actions and add Manage Goals. A creator or editor can also use /goal in chat. Select Total Subs. Subscription goal types require an Affiliate or Partner account.
What you should see: The editor opens.
Manage Goals opens the editor from the Creator Dashboard. YouTube · 2:07 ↗ - 04
Write goal and context
Nicole Rojas | YouTube | 2:36 ↗Write a short description and choose a number above the starting value. Check both before starting. Twitch does not let you edit an active goal. If the description or amount is wrong, you must end it and create another, and incomplete progress from the old goal resets.
What you should see: The goal has a clear reason.
- 05
Customize the bar
Nicole Rojas | YouTube | 3:06 ↗Choose a color that contrasts with your scenes and keep the description short. Start the goal and confirm it appears on the channel. Once reached, it stays active until you end it or start another.
What you should see: Preview reads quickly.
The target and context are checked before the bar is published. YouTube · 3:07 ↗ - 06
Copy browser URL
Nicole Rojas | YouTube | 3:36 ↗Copy the Browser Source URL offered for the goal. Twitch's current help shows a 370 by 40 preview and suggests 740 by 80 as one larger example. Treat the link as private configuration. Plus Program goals do not offer this URL, while other supported goal types do.
What you should see: The URL is ready without exposure.
- 07
Add Browser Source
Nicole Rojas | YouTube | 4:08 ↗In OBS click plus under Sources, choose Browser Source, and leave Local file off. Paste the URL and try 740 by 80 first. If text clips, preserve the aspect ratio while increasing both values. Use Refresh cache of current page only after confirming the full URL is present.
What you should see: The bar appears on canvas.
The goal URL is loaded into Browser Source and tested in a safe scene. YouTube · 4:08 ↗ - 08
Place it in open space
Nicole Rojas | YouTube | 4:38 ↗Place the bar in open space and lock the source. Check camera, score, and captions with the game visible. Review one light and one dark scene. To reuse it, add a nested scene and maintain one position.
What you should see: The goal does not cover information.
- 09
Update and verify
Nicole Rojas | YouTube | 5:08 ↗Confirm the starting value matches Twitch and use a real contribution or dashboard state to verify near-real-time progress. Browser Source displays the most recently created goal. If you later publish a different goal, check OBS because the same link may show the new one.
What you should see: The bar reflects the saved value.
If something does not work
- It shows old figures
- End the incorrect goal and create a new one with current values. Do not use the video's 100 or 300 as a universal requirement or mix Sub Points with Plus Points.
- It does not appear
- Confirm this goal type offers Browser Source, paste the full URL, and leave Local file off. Check visibility and source order, then refresh cache.
- Text is clipped
- Increase width or shorten message.
- Progress does not change
- Check the channel page to see whether Twitch recorded progress. If the channel changed but OBS did not, allow the near-real-time update and refresh the source. If both stay unchanged, inspect the active goal.
Test before you go live
- You separate the tool from old conditions.
- You have a real starting point.
- The editor opens.
- The goal has a clear reason.
- Preview reads quickly.
- The URL is ready without exposure.
Cómo configurar metas de suscriptores en Twitch
Watch the full tutorial ↗Common questions
Does it require 100 or 300 points?
No. The video explains an older version of the Plus Program. Check the current program page and your dashboard. For this guide, select Total Subs and choose a number based on the channel's starting value.
Does it guarantee subs?
No. It makes a goal visible without promising an outcome.
Can I show several?
Start with one so the action stays clear.
Is the URL public?
Treat it as configuration and do not publish it outside OBS.
What if the menu changes?
Search Creator Dashboard for goals and follow the workflow logic.
Can I edit an active goal?
No. Twitch says you must end it and create a new goal to change the description or amount. Ending an incomplete goal resets its progress, so review the copy and target before starting it.
