How to Show a Speedrun Timer on Stream
Show a speedrun timer in your stream with a timer extension, controlled from the keyboard or your phone.
The short answer
Add a timer extension to the scene and start it from a shortcut or your phone. The timer shows on stream.
How to do it in Streamdzy
- Capture the game window in the scene. Use the window, not the whole screen, so the picture stays clean.
- Run the Health check with the game open, so the quality is set for the load the game really puts on the PC.
- Add your camera as a layer if you want your face, and turn on the game sound and your microphone.
- Go live or record. Use Mark, or the clip button, at the moments you want to find again.
What to know first
Games change their own settings and anti-cheat rules. Check a game’s terms before you stream it, and test a short session first.
Questions
Can I start the timer from my phone?
Yes. The timer buttons are on the phone remote.
Want all of this in one app?
Streamdzy is a free streaming and recording app for Windows: several cameras, your phone as a camera, going live to many places at once, and recording first so a bad connection never costs you the show.
