What is Subathon Evolved?⌗
Subathon Evolved is made for streamers wishing to do a subathon without needing to think about the timer. Subathon Evolved runs in the background and hums along nicely while you focus on your content. Subs, bits and donations are taken care of with parameters you have set before you went live.

Setup Instructions⌗
Prerequisites⌗
Twitch⌗

Layout⌗

- Turns donations on or off
- You may choose if donations add time, or if they remove time from the clock.
- Enable bits
- Same as for donations. You can choose if bits add time, or if they remove time.

Settings Screen lower⌗

- Turn on or off Youtube memberships. Youtube memberships allow you to set your own custom tiers. Put the name of your tier on the left, and the time that tier should add on the right.
- Turn off or on Youtube Superchats. Since you can donate with different currencies, it is handy if they are converted to USD to keep things uniform. This is only supported on StreamLabs
