FAQ — OBS Stream Timer & Countdown
Can I control the timer without touching OBS?
Yes: start, pause and reset happen from the Control Panel, on any device, while you're live.
Countdown or stopwatch?
Both, in MM:SS or HH:MM:SS format, styled to match your overlay.
Does the timer stay accurate on a long stream?
Yes. It's recomputed from a time anchor instead of being incremented frame by frame: hours into the broadcast, the display is still exact.
What happens if OBS reloads the source?
The timer resumes on its own right where it was — no manual restart needed.
