Why Add a Countdown to a Starting Soon Screen?
A countdown tells viewers exactly when the stream begins and keeps the pre-show from feeling empty. Use it as a Twitch Starting Soon timer, a YouTube Live countdown, or a VTuber intro screen while chat gathers before showtime.
Make Cute Countdown Screens for VTubers
Mix pastel, night-sky, cyber, stars, petals, and text animations to create a cute countdown screen for VTuber streams. The presets are quick starting points when you want motion without designing everything from scratch.
Countdown Overlays for Twitch, YouTube, and Gaming Streams
Use the 16:9 countdown screen for Twitch streams, YouTube Live shows, gaming channels, chatting streams, collaborations, and special events. Save slots let you keep separate setups for different stream formats.
