Countdown for YouTube
Add a "premiere starting soon" or live stream countdown overlay to YouTube via OBS or Streamlabs browser sources — works for YouTube Live and Premieres. Open it in fullscreen on a second monitor to keep track of the time while you get ready to go live.
How to integrate
- 01
Create your countdown on Countz.io with a dark or transparent background and copy the embed URL.
- 02
In OBS or Streamlabs, add a Browser Source to your "Starting Soon" or "Premiere" scene.
- 03
Paste the embed URL and set the resolution to match your stream (e.g. 1920×1080).
- 04
Switch to that scene before going live or before your YouTube Premiere starts.
- 05
Share the Countz.io link in the video description or pinned comment so viewers can follow along.
- 06
Tip: open the countdown page in fullscreen on a second monitor to always see the timer while setting up your stream.
