Keep Every Presentation on Time

Use consistent timing for conference talks, sales pitches, training sessions, webinars and classroom presentations. A large countdown makes the remaining time clear without distracting the speaker.

Control the Timer Without Interrupting the Speaker

A moderator or event operator can start, pause, reset or add time from another device. There is no need to walk to the presentation computer or interrupt the talk.

Show Clear Wrap-Up Warnings

The presenter can see the remaining time, a visible running state and overtime when a talk passes zero. Operators can also add a direct wrap-up message.

Send Private Messages to the Presenter

Send concise cues such as “5 minutes remaining”, “Please wrap up”, “Slow down”, “Skip to questions” or “Microphone check” to the private presenter display.

Use It Alongside PowerPoint or Keynote

Run the timer on a separate confidence monitor, tablet or browser window alongside PowerPoint, Keynote or Google Slides. No presentation plugin is required.

How to Set Up a Presentation Timer

Create a room, add the talk duration, then share the Viewer link with the presenter and the Operator link with the moderator.

Timing Student Presentations

Teachers can give every student the same speaking time and keep transitions predictable. See the online classroom timer guide.
