The Timers widget may look complicated at first, but it's actually really easy to use once you get familiar with it!

Timer Settings

• Name: Enter the name of the Timer. You can name it something like "30 Minute Count-Down" to easily identify it by its length and type, or if the timer is going in the middle of a presentation, you might name it something like "Q&A Time Limit" or "Meditation Time". The name is completely flexible so use it however you like!
• Count-Down Timer - Starting Time: This is where you set the time that the timer starts at. If you set it 5 minutes and 30 seconds, when you start the timer, it will begin counting down from 5:30.
• Count-Up Timer: This will make the timer start at zero and count up, so there's no starting time to set.
• Status Alerts: You can make the timer change color and display specific text at certain times. Useful if you want to tell a speaker when their time is nearly up or how long until a break should start.
• Who Should See the Timer?: You can make timers visible or invisible to your guests if needed.

Timer Tips:

We recommend having a folder dedicated to Timers specifically, so you can easily set impromptu timers with just two clicks at any time.

Also since Timers are widgets, you can put them in the middle of slideshow presentations, so your Q&A time or speaker's time can be easily managed without ever leaving the presentation folder. This helps keep life simple while presenting.
