    Actually just did the math... 7 days x 24 hours = 168 hours 168 hours x 60 minutes = 10,080 minutes 10,080 minutes x 60 seconds = 604,800 seconds... which is 604,800 slides. And considering it took her about 5 seconds per slide once the initial one was setup... it would take you 35 unbroken days to make a 7 day countdown.

    Hey there, I've noticed that you can now add a "Trailer" on KZread to upcoming Premeres and Lives. So technically I think it's possible. However, KZread already has a built in timer screen for Premieres (not sure about Lives). So it would be kind of redundant to make your trailer a countdown. I'd focus on "pitching" or "teasing" what you content is all about in your trailer. Hope this helps 💜
