Time left when the board turns amber, then red.

How to use the presentation timer

  1. Set the talk length, like 10m, or tap a preset. Change when the board turns amber and red if you like.
  2. Press Projector window and drag the new window to the projector or second screen.
  3. Press Start, or the space bar. Both windows show the same time.
  4. The board turns amber, then red, then counts up how far over time you are.

Questions

How do the warnings work?

By default the whole board turns amber with 2 minutes left and red with 30 seconds left. At zero a soft chime plays and the board counts up in a deeper red, like +01:05, so you can see how far over you are. Change the warning times under the controls; they're remembered on this device.

How do I show the timer on a projector?

Press Projector window. A second window opens with only the board, which you can drag to the projector and make full screen with F. It follows the timer in your main window, including pauses and added time. Both windows must be in the same browser on the same computer. Nothing goes over the internet.

Can I hide the numbers?

Yes. Turn on "Colour only, no digits" and the board shows only its colour and a short status like "Wrap up soon". Some speakers find this calmer than watching seconds tick away.

What keyboard shortcuts are there?

Space starts and pauses, R resets, F goes full screen, M turns sound on or off, and + and − add or take off a minute.

Is anything sent to a server?

No. The timer runs in your browser, and the projector window gets its updates from your main window on the same device.
