How do I make a "Players Online" count in a lobby?

Hello!
I am currently using Photon PUN to make a multiplayer game in unity. However, while making the menu, I thought it would be really cool to have a counter showing how many players were online and using the app. I looked all over the internet and could not find anything. Can anyone help me with this?
I don't need any GUI scripts or anything, just a way to find how many people are using the app at a time using C#. Thanks!

int playersOnline = PhotonNetwork.PlayerList.Length;
Also get the players names. You would have to assign each player a NickName over the network though
foreach(Player player in PhotonNetwork.PlayerList)
{
Debug.Log(player.NickName);
}

would that count how many people are using the app or just how many people are in a room/lobby?
Better use PhotonNetwork.CountOfPlayer.
The xml doc comment in the code tells you: "The count of players currently using this application (available on MasterServer in 5sec intervals)."
