【OBS-compatible】Analog Clock Widget
Analog Clock Widget for OBS
The Analog Clock widget is an OBS widget for showing a clock with hands on your stream layout. Create the analog clock in Jamluca, copy the published URL, and paste it into an OBS browser source to add it to your scene.
Compared with a digital clock, an analog clock has more visual presence. It works well on waiting screens, talk streams, work streams, and calmer layouts where the clock should contribute to the atmosphere instead of only showing the time.
Add Atmosphere with a Clock Face and Hands
An analog clock shows the current time while adding a calm visual accent to the scene. Cafe-style, retro, minimal, futuristic, and other looks can fill side space or waiting screens without feeling like a plain utility element.
If you want the time to be read quickly in numbers, use the Clock widget. If you want the clock itself to become part of the scene design, the Analog Clock widget is the better fit.
Start from Templates
The Analog Clock widget lets you choose a template and then edit it. You do not need to build the clock face from scratch. Pick a design close to the mood of your stream, then adjust colors, line weights, and other details.
Templates also make it easier to switch styles between streams. Use softer colors for talk streams, stronger contrast for game streams, or a quieter design for work streams.
Customize the Face, Hands, and Border
In the editor, you can adjust the clock face background, dial font, border, and the colors of the hour, minute, and second hands. You can make the background transparent so it blends into the scene, or add borders and shadows to keep it readable over video.
Showing the second hand adds subtle motion to the layout. For calmer scenes, keep the color and thickness restrained so the clock does not draw too much attention.
Use It in OBS with a Browser Source
Each analog clock is published as a dedicated URL. Add an OBS browser source and set that URL to display the clock on your stream. You can adjust the size and position in OBS and place it in a corner, side area, or waiting screen.
