Videojs Live Clock Plugin

24 Hours Seconds

A LiveClock plugin for the live stream allows to display current time in the control bar, right after LIVE label. Optionally, this is possible to display current time in one of the top corners of the player instead of the control bar.
By default, the current time is displayed in 12 hour format "hh:mm". Optionally, you can display current time in 24 hour format. You can also order to display the current time with seconds "hh:mm:ss".
Default current time is a user's local time. Optionally, you can request to display the time in different time zones. The last option available to set is language-sensitive representation of the current time. You can test more options below.
