EasyTimer

Presentation Timer

A free presentation timer for speakers, event organizers, teachers, webinar hosts, and conference teams. This is the single visible countdown for one speaking slot — a talk, a pitch, a Q&A block, or a break — shown big on a second screen, projector, confidence monitor, or OBS browser source so the speaker can see exactly how much time remains for that one slot. The timer is intentionally simple: one large countdown, clear fullscreen mode, custom colours and text, and shareable URL settings that make it easy to reuse the same setup for the next talk, pitch, demo, or rehearsal. It works especially well when you need a no-signup timing display fast, without building a slide or installing event software. If a talk has multiple timed sections you want to pace one after another, the multi-section presentation flow timer is the better fit.

Timing a multi-section talk? Use the presentation flow timer

What is a presentation timer used for?

  • ✓Conference and event speaker timing — place the countdown on a confidence monitor, side screen, or technician laptop so speakers can pace themselves.
  • ✓TED-style talk countdowns — set a strict talk length and keep the display clean enough that it supports the speaker without distracting the room.
  • ✓Classroom presentation timing — give students a visible countdown for speeches, debates, group presentations, and peer feedback rounds.
  • ✓Virtual event and webinar timers — capture the timer in OBS, Streamlabs, Zoom screen share, or another production tool for remote audiences.
  • ✓Product demos and sales pitches — show a discreet timer during rehearsals or live demos so Q&A, setup, and handoff time is protected.
  • ✓A single panel or workshop segment — show one countdown for the current block on its own; if you need to chain opening remarks, exercises, breaks, and wrap-up into one paced run of show, the presentation flow timer handles that.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the presenter see the timer while presenting?

Yes. Open EasyTimer.app in a separate browser window or on a second monitor. Use fullscreen mode so the countdown is always visible while presenting.

Can the audience see the timer too?

Yes — project EasyTimer.app fullscreen on a shared screen, or embed it via OBS if you're running a virtual event on Zoom or Teams.

Can I set a warning when time is almost up?

EasyTimer.app flashes when the timer reaches zero. You can also use the custom text field to display a message such as "2 mins left", "Wrap up", or "Q&A next" so the speaker understands the cue at a glance.

Can I save one presentation countdown to reuse?

Yes. A single timer's settings are encoded in its URL, so after choosing the duration, font, colour, background, and custom text for one slot, bookmark that URL or paste it into your run sheet. Each saved link is one countdown; to save a whole multi-section run of show instead, use the presentation flow timer.

Does this work as an OBS overlay for virtual talks?

Yes. Enable transparent background, copy the URL, and paste it into OBS as a browser source. That makes the countdown usable in livestreams, webinars, and recorded presentations.

What is the difference between this and the sectioned presentation timer?

This page is best for one countdown: a talk, pitch, Q&A slot, or break. The sectioned presentation flow timer is better when a talk has multiple timed sections and you want a report afterwards.

Can I use this for meetings?

For a single meeting segment, yes. For agendas with multiple timed items, decisions, notes, facilitation cues, presenter handoffs, break timing, and a post-meeting report, use the meeting timer instead.
