In this video, I'm gonna show you two different ways for you to be
able to go ahead and add a countdown timer inside of Stream Labs.
Let's go ahead and dive in.
So the first thing you're gonna wanna do is you're gonna wanna go ahead
and open up your Streamlabs desktop.
If you don't have Stream Labs on your computer, you can go to the link in
the description of this video to be able to go ahead and download it.
It's completely free.
So the first way I'm gonna show you how to add a countdown timer.
It's gonna be the.
Simplest way, it's not gonna allow you to customize it so much, but
it's still gonna be very effective.
So the first thing you're gonna wanna do is you're gonna want
to go to the description of this video, and you're gonna wanna
go to last curry.com/countdown.
Timer two went ahead and created a tool that's easy for you to be able to utilize.
So we're gonna go ahead and customize this.
So you're starting minutes.
This is what you put, how much time you want it to be able to start.
Remember, it's counting down, so I'm gonna go ahead and put five minutes there.
If you don't put anything in seconds, it's gonna default
to zero, which is what I want.
Text alignment.
I want it to be at center.
The font size 100 is perfectly fine.
I've customized it to that liking, and then you can always resize it
directly inside of Stream Labs.
Then the counter and tax.
This is super important, right?
If you don't enter anything here, it's just gonna go and automatically say, done.
What I like to put is starting now.
So what that means is that when the timer hits zero, this sex is
gonna come up saying, starting now.
Then the font color.
This is where you want to go ahead and put in the color of the font that you want.
Now, if we go back and look at my stream labs, If I'm gonna go ahead and put it on
this overlay here for the starting soon, it's black, so I want my text to be white.
So I'm gonna come back here to the countdown timer tour
and I'm gonna type in white.
And that's gonna go ahead and gimme the white color.
As far as the background color, I don't need any background color, so if you just
leave it blank, it's gonna be transparent.
So then we're gonna select, get my timer.
And what this is gonna do here is gonna go ahead and pop up the timer.
You're gonna see it now.
It's white on white, so you're not gonna see the timer here.
But we want to do is you want to come up to the top and we want to copy this url.
And now what we want to do is we want to come back here to Stream
Labs, and we're gonna come to the right side where it says sources.
We're gonna hit this little plus icon.
We're gonna go ahead and select Browser Source.
We're gonna go ahead and add source.
We're gonna name this countdown timer.
You're gonna go ahead and hit an add source.
And now what this is gonna do is gonna go ahead and ask you
to go ahead and put in the url.
So here's where you're gonna go ahead and paste the URL that
we just went ahead and copied.
And then you're gonna go ahead and hit close.
Now what's gonna show here, you're gonna see that the timer is now available.
Now what I'd like to do is I'd like to go ahead and hold the alt
or the option key on my keyboard to bring it up from the bottom.
And then I like to leave the sides the same way they are, because
remember, once the timer finishes, it's gonna change to a text.
So I'm gonna just make this a little bit bigger.
And now I'm gonna place this right above my starting soon, and you can
see here that now I have the timer.
Now, the other way that I like to do this is without using that tool, I like to
have a custom countdown timer created.
So what I like to do is I like to come to StreamDesignz.com where they have
tons of, Countdown timers, you can go ahead and utilize, and I'll put a
link in the description of this video.
For the example, I'm gonna use the countdown timer called Shadow.
So to go ahead and add that, I'm gonna come back to Stream Labs.
I'm gonna come to scenes.
I'm gonna hit this plus icon and I'm gonna name this countdown timer.
Count down timer, I'm gonna hit done, and now I'm gonna have a new scene here.
So now I'm gonna question this little plus icon.
And what I'm gonna do here is I'm gonna go ahead and look for Media Source.
So I'm gonna just look at media file.
I'm gonna go ahead and add source.
And now what's gonna happen here is that I'm gonna go ahead and
select, add a New Source instead.
And I'm gonna name this timer.
I'm gonna hit Add Source, and then I'm gonna go ahead and locate that file.
So I'm gonna go ahead and browse.
I'm gonna go to my desktop, and if you went ahead and downloaded your countdown
timer from Stream Designz, it's gonna first initially come in a zip file.
If you are on Windows, you'll right click Hit Extract.
And then it's gonna create a folder for you.
If you're on Mac, double click and it's gonna create a folder.
So once you have that folder, you're gonna see here that we're
gonna have the countdown timer.
I'm gonna go ahead and select Open, and then I don't want to select Loop
because it's gonna keep running.
So I'm gonna go ahead and just have it just how it is.
I'm gonna go ahead and hit a close, and you're gonna see here now that I have
a more professional looking countdown timer, that's gonna go ahead and
count down which matches my package.
So this is the package that I'm using from Stream Designz.
So if you wanted to get the whole package that's being offered here,
it's gonna be the animated stream overlay package called Shadow.
It doesn't include the countdown timer, but you get all the overlay scenes.
All your panels, everything that you need to make your stream look professional,
and I'll put a link in the description of this video and just like that, I
just showed you two different ways for you to be able to go ahead and
add a countdown timer in Stream Labs.
