%APPDATA%\StreamDeckLabs\GameActionTimer\GameActionTimer.exe "<action name from Stream Deck button>" "<cooldown time in seconds>"

      • GameActionTimer.exe is required & must be installed separately.

  • Shows cooldown time on the Stream Deck Button.

  • Create as many Stream Deck Button as you like.

      • ("Not Ready" image is optional)
