Presentation Timer

The presentation timer opens at 20 minutes and is built for speakers: a large fullscreen countdown plus a traffic-light colour cue that signals when to move on or wrap up — visible from the stage or across a meeting room.

This page pairs a big, glanceable countdown with a green–amber–red state so a presenter can pace a talk without staring at a phone. The colour is backed by a text label, so the "wind down" cue reads clearly for everyone.

Using the presentation timer

Set the duration to match your slot and press Start.
Use fullscreen so the countdown is readable from the stage or the back of the room.
Treat amber as "start wrapping up" and red as "finish now".

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from the classroom timer?

Both share the fullscreen display and traffic-light cue, but the presentation timer is framed for talks and meetings and opens at 20 minutes, while the classroom timer opens at five minutes for teaching activities.

Can the speaker and audience both see it?

Yes. In fullscreen the countdown and colour state are large enough to read from the stage or across a meeting room.

Is the colour cue accessible?

Yes. The traffic light is always paired with a text label and the exact time remains on screen, so the pacing cue never depends on colour alone.

Can I set my own talk length?

Yes. Adjust the timer to any duration; the colour thresholds follow the time you set.
