Frequently askedquestions
Straight answers about viewer sessions, chatters, proxies, and platform risk. Anything missing — the contact page is one click away.
What exactly does StreamHive do?
Two things. It holds real viewer sessions on unique residential hosts so your live count climbs and stays up, and — optionally — it runs chatters with distinct personas that reply in character to what is happening on your stream. Both run from a browser ops deck; there is no app to install.
Do I need to install anything?
No. StreamHive is a browser ops deck. Paste your channel, pick a viewer count, a proxy strategy, and a preset, then start the run. Presets save your curves so next stream is one click.
How many viewers can I add?
The free plan caps at 25 per run — enough to test on a quiet channel. Plus holds 400 with staged ramps and retention smoothing, and Pro is unlimited, bounded only by the proxy pool you point at it. Added Kick viewers on a shared free pool have been measured near ~1.5× the requested bot count, but that is a calibration, not a guarantee.
Will the numbers match what Kick shows?
They should, because Live Viewers reads the same public endpoint your audience sees rather than counting our own connections. If the ops deck and Kick disagree, treat the ops deck as wrong and tell us.
Do I have to bring my own proxies?
No. The free tier runs on a shared pool that refreshes on an interval. Paid tiers use host-deduplicated residential lists, one session per IP, and you can upload your own list (one proxy per line) whenever you want to control the hosts outright.
Does this break Kick's terms of service?
Artificially inflating viewer numbers is against most streaming platforms' terms, and Kick's are no exception. We are not going to tell you otherwise. Using StreamHive is your decision and your risk, and you should read Kick's terms before you do.
Can my channel get banned?
Yes, that risk is real and nobody can remove it. Anyone promising a guaranteed-safe or undetectable service is not being straight with you. What we do is narrower: one residential host per session and gradual ramps, so a run does not look like a block of identical viewers arriving at once.
What do the chatters do?
The chat half runs on a separate host from the viewers. A director decides who speaks, when, and whether anyone speaks at all — silence is a normal answer. Each persona has its own slang and timing, trained on real Kick chat, so the room reads like people, not a queue of bots.
Which plan should I pick?
Start free: 25 viewers on a quiet channel will tell you if the curve fits. Move to Plus when you run nightly and need 400 with AI chat. Pro is for unlimited viewers, your own ISP list, and priority support. You can cancel anytime.
I joined the waitlist. What happens next?
You get one email when your batch opens. No drip sequence, no reselling your address. You can reply to that email to be removed at any point.
