Is there a way to track/see how many users are currently viewing a topic? We wanted to do some live Q&A’s/AMA’s and wondering if we have any way to know how many users are “watching”.
If not, that would be a nice feature.

If you mean “watching” in the discourse sense, this might help:

@david 's query will get info about the notification level.
If you want “who is reading it now” the closest I can think of would be to query the topic_user table for the last_visited_at field. It wouldn’t be a guaranteed “reading it now”, but an indication of “read it within this time frame” might be close enough.

No I’m not, I meant that we would like to know who (or how many users) are currently reading this topic “right now”.
