    I am glad that i found your channel, because your content is simply amazing and very helpful. Thanks for all your effort! BTW i would love to see you make a video tutorial about two-monitor twitch setup, how to best do it, what to avoid, common problems that one may encounter while streaming / setting up the stream etc. That would be perfect. Thanks

Subbed, liked, and as resources permit, future donations on the way! Great stuff Pete!

    Hey man. Did a Google search for "stream countdown" because I'm playing with the idea of trying to become popular and streaming in VR more seriously. It autofilled OBS, which is what I already use, and bam, here I am. Your opening comments genuinely grabbed my interest - here, have my sub. Looking forward to checking out your other videos - but first, let me finish this one. ;)

  • @wthrz
    @wthrz 6 лет назад +1

    Gaming Careers. Is it possible to set a default specified amount of time to count down? For example, lets say I wanted to match the countdown time to be the same as an audio file. Every time my stream goes live, I want the countdown to go from 3:25 every time. Would it be possible to do that so that it's less work to figure out what time it is in 3 minutes and 25 seconds?

    • @Veeb0rg
      @Veeb0rg 5 лет назад

      I know its been a while, but use the Chrono Tab. It is a straight count down timer. works the same just you set 5 min or whatever instead of setting the time and then advancing the time.
