Subathon

A subathon (subscription marathon) is a streaming event where the stream duration extends based on viewer contributions. Each subscription, cheer, or donation adds time to the clock.

How It Works

1. Set a starting stream duration
2. Configure how much time each contribution type adds
3. Start the subathon
4. As viewers subscribe, cheer, or contribute, the timer extends
5. The stream continues until the timer runs out

Overlay Widgets

Display subathon progress on your overlay:

• Subathon Widget — Shows the current timer and progress
• Subathon Hype Widget — Displays contribution momentum and excitement

Hype Train Integration

Subathons can integrate with Twitch Hype Trains. When a Hype Train triggers during a subathon, it can add bonus time or multiply contributions.
