Frequently Asked Questions
What is a subathon?
A subathon is a streaming marathon where the timer extends each time someone subscribes or donates bits. Streamers broadcast continuously until the timer reaches zero, creating an engaging and interactive experience for the community.
Is Subathon Timer really free?
Yes! Subathon Timer is completely free for all Twitch streamers. There are no hidden costs, subscription fees, or premium tiers. I built this tool as a personal project to support the Twitch streaming community. Get started in 5 minutes.
How do I add the timer to my stream?
After signing in and configuring your settings, you'll receive a unique timer URL. In OBS, add a new Browser Source, paste your URL, and set the dimensions (recommended: 1920x1080). The timer will appear as a transparent overlay on your stream. See our complete OBS setup guide.
Does it work with gift subscriptions?
Absolutely! Subathon Timer automatically detects all subscription types including regular subs, gift subs, and community gifts. Each subscription tier (Tier 1, 2, or 3) can be configured to add different amounts of time.
Can I manually adjust the timer?
Yes! The dashboard provides full control with manual time adjustments, pause/resume functionality, and the ability to start/stop your subathon. All changes are instantly reflected in your stream overlay.
What are subscription goals?
Subscription goals let you set milestones (like "100 subs = emote reveal" or "200 subs = community game night"). The progress bar displays on your timer overlay, showing viewers how close you are to reaching each goal. It's a great way to engage your community and celebrate achievements together.
