Tried watching this video (the only existing evidence of the creel clock livestream countdown for the s4 trailer), which is apparently where the 'byler static kiss' originated.
The stream lasted 24 hours and was removed from YouTube shortly after airing. And so unfortunately, this is all we’ve got.
From what I can see, even watching at 0.25 playback speed, there was no static kiss, at least not at this particular time of the countdown, which was right before the trailer dropped at the end of the stream.
However, there is indeed a lot of static in this countdown. Like it’s kind of unnecessary tbh, with it even carrying through over to the trailer.
Also tv static in general tends to be mostly white. Not always, but usually color tends to come into play when there is an actual image projecting, only it's not fully visible bc of whatever reason, and so you get like this mixture of static and image.

When this happens, what you get is all sorts of colors (the colors that make up the image).

It's almost as if there was a specific image they were using as a source to juxtapose discreetly as the static itself.
So it is interesting that the byler static kiss has very similar coloring to the static that we saw throughout the countdown...

It’s entirely possible this image popped up more visibly at a different time within those 24 hrs, but we'll never know bc it's lost in history (minus the existing screenshot of course), which is pretty unfortunate.
For those that don’t know, there were also scenes from past seasons shown at the top of each hour for the countdown, along with other b-roll footage filmed specifically for this countdown scattered throughout.
So I do wonder if this static also accompanied each of those top of the hour recaps? Bc if this image did indeed come from the countdown, if there was a way we could actually find this exact still within the countdown, that would be crazy. I would fully believe it was intentional bc like wtf...??
Unfortunately, that’s not possible.
