Introducing the bad internet widget!

Is your internet bad? Well I’m just a random dude on YouTube, not your internet service provider.

So instead, I made you this widget! It tells your audience whenever you have bad internet or are dropping frames in OBS. That way, they don’t have to wonder if it’s their internet, or your internet. If they see bad internet icon light up, they’ll know it’s all your fault!
