Summary
You now have the ability to create a countdown to when playback starts during custom live stream creation. Viewers can see the countdown through Wowza Flowplayer once you create the countdown timer.
Why use a countdown timer?
- Audience Engagement: A countdown creates anticipation and excitement among viewers, keeping them engaged and more likely to join at the beginning of the stream.
- Improved User Experience: It clearly communicates to the audience when the live event will commence, reducing uncertainty and enhancing overall satisfaction.
- Synchronization: For events with regional or global audiences, a countdown helps synchronize everyone, ensuring viewers join at the correct time irrespective of time zone variances.

You can now disable, enable, or reset a stream target on a transcoder only when the transcoder is running and receiving the stream from your encoder or video source.
