People following a workout on stream cannot count your rounds for you. A phone timer on the floor tells you where the class is; it tells nobody watching.
Set a screen’s clock to Intervals, choose the work and rest lengths and the number of rounds, and use the band layout so it runs along the bottom while you stay in view. Rotating lines under the clock carry your cues, and the rounds move on by themselves.

It lands here — the real overlay
Work and rest rounds, with the coaching line changing while the clock runs.
What you’ll build
Work and rest rounds counting down on stream by themselves, with the round number and your cue, and you still on camera.
One browser source. The timer lives inside it.
Choose the work length, the rest length and how many rounds. 30 seconds on, 15 off, eight rounds is the default.
Add rotating lines under the clock, such as the move and a form tip, so the screen says what to do as well as how long is left.
The band runs along the bottom of the frame, so the person on the mat stays in view while the rounds run.
One key each carries the show’s arc — Starting Soon before you go live, BRB at the break, Ending at the close. Here’s the loop, and what each side sees.
Press the Starting Soon key before you hit Go Live in OBS. The scene covers the whole canvas — your title, subtitle, and an optional countdown — so early arrivals see a show warming up, not your desktop or a frozen game menu.
When you’re ready, the same key clears the screen. It fades out to reveal whatever OBS was already showing — game, cam, everything. You never built a second OBS scene and you never switched one.
Door, food, bathroom: one tap (your phone deck works from the kitchen) and the BRB scene covers the entire canvas in one press — game, cam, and all. Set a countdown and it can even clear itself when you’re due back.
The thanks-for-watching scene holds the screen while you say goodbyes, plug the socials, and send the raid. Screens are one-at-a-time, so firing Ending swaps out anything else — then you end the stream on a produced note.
Every stream has moments the camera shouldn’t carry alone. These are the ones a screen covers:
When: You go live a few minutes before you’re actually ready — and viewers arrive early.
Why it works: A countdown screen turns dead air into anticipation. Notifications land, the room fills, and you finish your setup behind a scene that looks deliberate.
When: Bathroom, door, food delivery — the two-minute step-away every stream has.
Why it works: One tap covers the room: game, cam, and desktop all at once. Nothing awkward stays on screen, and the countdown tells viewers exactly when to drift back.
When: The game crashes, audio drops, or a capture card picks tonight to die.
Why it works: A calm, branded “hang tight” screen beats a frozen frame. Viewers stay seated while you fix it, instead of assuming the stream is over.
When: End of stream — you’re saying goodbyes, plugging socials, sending or landing a raid.
Why it works: An ending scene keeps a produced frame on screen through the whole wind-down, so the last thing anyone sees is your brand, not a hard cut to offline.
Starting Soon, Be Right Back, Stream Ending — every preview below is the real full-screen renderer with its countdown ticking, scaled down, not a mockup.
The countdown that turns early arrivals into an audience.
Fire it, go live, and finish your coffee. The purple sweep, your title, and a live 05:00 countdown hold the screen while notifications bring people in — by zero you have a room, not an empty chat.
One key up before you go liveOne tap covers everything — game, cam, desktop — instantly.
“Back in five” with a ticking timer reads as a promise, not an absence. Set the countdown to auto-hide at 00:00 and the stream uncovers itself the moment you’re due back.

“Thanks for watching” stays up while you wrap, plug tomorrow’s stream, and send the raid. Retext the subtitle to your schedule once and it’s one press at the end of every show.
One key closes the showYour Kloot source sits on top of your OBS scene, so a screen hides the whole canvas in one press — and one more press reveals the game that was under it all along. No scene collection, no switching.
Yes. Work becomes rest, rest becomes the next round, and the screen shows which round you are on until the last one ends.
Yes. Set rest to 0 and one work block runs straight into the next, with the round markers still counting.
