Your time, where you are
A clock for any city, 12 or 24 hour, that follows daylight saving. Name it after the city and chat never has to ask what time it is there.
IRL
Walking a city at night, on a train at dawn, cooking in someone else’s kitchen: show chat what time it is where you are, how long you’ve been out, or how long until the next stop — in a corner pill that stays readable on a shaky phone feed.
A clock for any city, 12 or 24 hour, that follows daylight saving. Name it after the city and chat never has to ask what time it is there.
The corner-pill layout reads at a glance on vertical and mobile streams, and every IRL look — REC viewfinder, boarding pass, map pin, chat bubble, polaroid — has one.
Next train, next stop, the flight home, the end of the stream: pick Starting soon or Next stream in the studio and give it an IRL theme.
Yes, anywhere OBS or another app with browser sources runs: a laptop in a backpack, a cloud OBS server, or a mobile streaming app that supports web or browser widgets. The overlay is one link.
Add two sources: a clock pill for the city and an uptime pill that counts from Start Streaming. Give them different titles, like “Tokyo” and “Live”.
The overlay runs where your streaming software runs. On a cloud server it never touches your phone. On a phone app it loads once and then runs on the device, with no ongoing requests.
The one you pick in the studio, by name — Asia/Tokyo, Europe/Paris — so it stays right when you travel with a laptop set to home time.
Overlays load in OBS’s Browser Source. Test your scene before going live. Timing a talk or a lesson instead? Make a timer video or embed a timer on a website.
