Frequently asked questions

Can I capture this in OBS?

Yes — add this page as a Browser Source in OBS Studio. The timer display is clean with a dark background that blends into most stream layouts. Use fullscreen mode for a capture-friendly view.

Why include a "Starting Soon" segment?

A starting soon period lets viewers trickle in before the main content begins. Most successful streamers use 3–5 minutes of "starting soon" to maximize live viewership for the important segments.

How do I time chat interactions?

The 5-minute Chat Q&A segment gives you a structured window to read and respond to chat. This prevents chat interaction from bleeding into your planned content and derailing the show.

Need more than a template timer?

TimedFlow gives event producers, speakers, and teams professional countdown displays with remote control, multi-screen sync, and backstage coordination.
