A tiny, self-contained countdown file to use in Xsplit for stream countdowns.
- Clone the repository
- Open
countdown.html
in any text editor - Change the
countdownMinutes
variable at the top to your desired number of minutes to count down to, save the file - Open Xsplit
- Click 'Add' on the bottom to add a source, and click 'Media file'
- Navigate to where
countdown.html
is on your hard drive, select it - Blammo, you have a super simple countdown on your stream's scene.
Personally, for broadcast times, I'd recommend copying countdown.html
a few times, and naming them something like:
countdown-20min.html
countdown-5min.html
...et cetera. Then, just change the duration in each corresponding file. This way, you can pull up multiple countdowns easily during your broadcast if need be.
There is also a small style block near the top where you can edit any CSS properties of the text.
