I see a lot of people asking for some simple dynamic content asset they want displayed on their stream that always is answered with "update a local file manually".
WRONG! (We'll, not wrong, but very unwieldy.) This is what plug-ins are for! Install BrowerSource.
* Want an 15 minute Countdown Timer? Set your webpage to: http://e.ggtimer.com/15minutes
* Want to broadcast a simple chat? Set your webpage to: https://tlk.io/secretchatroom Open up another window and start typing.
* Need to tell your viewers if it is Christmas? Set your webpage to https://isitchristmas.com
* Want your viewers to have some interactive fun while on you are on break? Set your webpage to: http://rumpetroll.com/
There MAY already be a webpage out there that automatically does what you need. Just use BrowserSource to display it.
For users who aren't afraid of a little JavaScript. I encourage you to look into WebSockets. If you eager to get your hands dirty, then check out NodeJS and Socket.IO. Have your BrowserSource display the content, while another browser has the "administration" interface.
In my example below: on the left is my "broadcast" title screen, on the right is my "administration" interface. Any changes I make on the right will be reflected on the left. Changing the names, who wins, the crawl at the bottom. I'm not saying it's easy, It is work; it's all custom written.
