How to Add a Twitch Schedule Widget

calendar1 Last Updated

The fantastic thing about Twitch and other streaming platforms is that you can broadcast to a worldwide audience. However, issues arise when your viewers can’t easily determine when you stream if they live in a different timezone. This is why having a consistent schedule posted on your channel is helpful for your followers.

Luckily, several stream schedule widgets on Twitch can automatically convert your schedule to the different timezone of Twitch users.

Set Up a Schedule that Adjusts to Your Viewer’s Time Zone

You can remedy this problem on your own channel by installing a timezone extension to your profile. When your viewers look at it, the widget will tell them the start time of your upcoming stream in their own timezone. That way, they can tune in at the right time to catch you live.

We have listed several schedule widgets you can use. Once you have made your selection, you will need to install the widget, configure it to your personal schedule, then add it as a panel to your profile.

Stream Scheduler Extensions on Twitch

  1. Streamlabs Stream Schedule and Countdown

    The Streamlabs Stream Schedule and Countdown extension will give your viewers your schedule in their own timezone. It will also give them a countdown to your next stream. They can quickly look at it and know when they should next return to your channel.

    If you are going on holiday or want to take a break from streaming, you can set your return date in the widget, and it will keep your viewers informed for you. 

    The Streamlabs Stream Schedule extension is customizable. From a blank canvas, you can change the color of the text to match your other branding and change the underlying image behind the text. In our opinion, this is the simplest widget to use. 

  2. Schedule with Google Calendar

    The Schedule with Google Calendar extension will give your viewers a countdown and information in their own timezone. Additionally, you can set titles for your upcoming streams that they can see.

    If you are a variety streamer, you can set specific colors for the theme of each live-streaming session. This way, current and potential viewers will know when to log in to watch the content they want to see.

    You can customize the appearance of the widget to better match your brand. You will need to use a Google account that you won’t mind being public, so we recommend creating one specifically for your Twitch channel. Once you have set up your schedule using Google Calendar, you can sync it to the widget.

  3. Wasder Chrome Scheduler

    The Wasder Chrome Scheduler extension will display your channel’s weekly schedule. It also has a countdown widget that shows when your next stream will be. Unlike other widgets, your stream schedule design can be synced with your Razer Chrome RGB effects.
