Frequently Asked Questions
What is different about the OBS Timer vs the regular timer?
The OBS Timer has stream-optimized defaults turned on: transparent background, larger digit sizing for 1080p legibility, and a quieter end chime. Functionally it is the same timer engine; the difference is the preset.
How is this different from the OBS setup page?
The /obs page is a step-by-step guide for adding any EasyTimer.app page as an OBS browser source. The /obs-timer page is the timer itself with stream-friendly defaults applied. Use /obs to learn how, use /obs-timer for the ready-made overlay URL.
Will the chime bleed into my stream voice audio?
The default chime is set to a quieter level than the main timer. You can also disable the chime entirely in settings if your audio routing picks it up.
What size browser source should I use in OBS?
For a fullscreen countdown use your stream resolution (1920×1080 for 1080p). For a corner overlay 400×150 to 600×200 works for most font sizes.
Does it work in Streamlabs and Twitch Studio too?
Yes. Any tool that supports browser sources — Streamlabs Desktop, StreamElements, Twitch Studio, XSplit, vMix — works with EasyTimer.app.
