Free Timer and Countdown Overlays
Timer overlays turn waiting into content: a starting soon countdown, a ten-second challenge, a giveaway deadline or a cooking video that needs a visible clock. They also add pace, because a ticking number tells the viewer something is about to happen.
Download a Community countdown, set the time and style in the browser and export it with a transparent background. Place it over your gameplay, webcam or footage.

Mind the 10-second limit
Clips run up to 10 seconds. For a 5-minute break screen, build the long countdown with your stream software's own timer and use these animated clips for the final ten seconds, the part viewers actually watch.
