Hope this isn't a dumb question, but I have seen videos where there are timers on cooldowns for the abilities on the hotbar. I have searched in the options and cannot locate a way to do this. Could someone tell me how this is done?
Yeah, if you mean a numerical timer, the only time I've seen that is occasionally when there's a buff that comes with a time limit, the buff icon itself (as opposed to the skill icon on the bar) will occasionally show the count down if you mouse over it. However, active skills on the skill bar don't have an innate timer shown beyond that sort of shadowy clock shape that "ticks down" until the skill is fully lit up again.
If someone is using an add-on that puts numbers over the cooldown animation on the bar, then they are violating the ToS and risk being banned. I wouldn't do it if I were you. However, I would love to see Blizzard add that option in the UI settings for those that want to enable it.

No idea what you're talking about. There isn't a way in-game to put timers on the icons.
The only numbers I've ever seen on the hotbar are when it's a charge for skills like Dashing Strike or Revenge.
