Frequently asked
Is the background animated?
On Pro, yes: twelve moving backgrounds drawn live, like rain, embers and aurora. Free can preview them all and put the two still ones on air, as well as gradients and solid colours.
Do I need a separate OBS scene?
No — flip the screen on from your Kloot deck instead of building and switching OBS scenes.
What happens when the countdown hits zero?
You choose whether the screen hides itself or stays up. On Pro it can keep counting instead: the clock turns red and counts up, so viewers can see you’re running late.
Which plan do I need?
None — Free runs two screens, one ticker and one text overlay, with a Kloot badge. Pro ($9/month) runs them all at once and removes the badge.
