Requirements

For Windows install python3.6 64 or 32 bit depending on your OBS. Since 28 version OBS Studio supports most 3.x Python versions.

Installation

  1. Download source code.
  2. Unzip the file to be able to access hotkey_counter.py. Remember the file location because you will need this later.

Usage

  1. On OBS, under Sources, click + to create a new text source (below, you will see Text GDI+). You may leave it blank.

How do I use more counters?

If you need additional counters, duplicate the hotkey_counter.py file and save it with a new filename (e.g. hotkey_counter2.py), and repeat the process.

Alternatives

There is a Lua alternative with helpful blogpost (JP) on how to install and setup those kinds of scripts in OBS. Lua support in OBS Studio is built-in , so you don't need install anything extra.
