How to use
- For a practice round, use the page’s three-minute setting for an opening statement, then Start when the speaker begins.
- Pause for an agreed interruption. Reset and choose the next duration between speakers; +1:00 adds a minute.
- Agree the real round limits before starting. For a sequence that advances automatically, use the stage timer.

Questions and answers
How do I change the duration?
Choose a duration preset or use +1:00. There is no free-text duration field on this timer.
Does a shared setup control another speaker’s timer?
No. A setup link shares settings; each browser starts and controls its own timer. Keep the display device awake for audible cues.
