I somehow can't figure out how to get a timer to get on my streams but I don't have a laptop and use an Xbox so if I do a stream on mixer with no timer does it count?

A timer is not generally required for any speedrun, but adherence to the timing rules is important. You can use a phone timer while streaming gameplay, and if you want to upload the run, you can video edit in a timer, showing the complete start and finish of the run. You can also upload the video without a timer, but the video may take longer to be verified.
