Set once, right every week
When a stream starts, the overlay shows your message for as long as you choose, then rolls on to the next scheduled day. Daylight saving changes keep your wall-clock time.
Stream schedule
Always counting
to your next stream.
Set your schedule once — say Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 7 PM — and the overlay always shows the next one. Put it on your offline screen, your starting soon scene or the end of a VOD.

The same moment for everyone
The start is pinned to your time zone. Share the viewer countdown link and each viewer sees the start in their own time.
Late? Own it
Turn on overtime and the clock counts up from your scheduled start (+3:12), for the streams where setup took a little longer.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the overlay show once my start time passes?
Your “when it’s time” message — “We’re live!” by default — for the window you choose, from 15 minutes to four hours. After that it counts down to your next scheduled day.
Can I count down to a one-off special stream?
Yes. Pick a single date instead of weekdays. After the start and the live window, the overlay keeps showing your message.
How do viewers see the start in their own time zone?
Copy the viewer countdown link under the preview. It opens a TimerHub countdown page fixed to your start time, which shows each visitor the date and time in their own zone. Put it in your panels, Discord or a chat command.
Does a reload or a scene switch change the countdown?
No. It counts to a clock time rather than a duration, so every reload, every scene and every computer shows the same remaining 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.
