Run the active timer
Start, pause, and reset the timer from the host workspace while the shared views follow the same room state.
Private host workspace
Keep every live session on time from one private control room.
Create a room, then use the private Host link to run the timer and agenda. Share read-only Display, Speaker, Moderator, and Agenda views with the people who need to follow the session.
Host link
Private access for controlling the room.
Shared clock
Every open view follows the active timer.
Read-only roles
Share timing context without giving control.
What the host controls
Control timing without turning every screen into a control panel.
Set the timing plan
Configure the timer, choose the active agenda item, and keep the next session segment ready before it begins.
Share the right view
Copy the display, speaker, moderator, or agenda link without giving those devices timer controls.
Four-step setup
Put control in one place before the session starts.
01
Create a timer room
Start a room for the session. The room becomes the shared source of truth for every device.
02
Keep the host link private
Open the original host link on the device that will control timing. It carries the access needed to make changes.
03
Run each agenda item
Start, pause, reset, or adjust the active timer as the session moves from one segment to the next.
04
Share read-only views
Send the display, speaker, moderator, or agenda link to the people and screens that need to follow along.
Clear access boundaries
Share timing, not control.
The host workspace is intentionally separate from the views used by the rest of the session. That prevents an accidental pause or reset on a projector, speaker device, or producer monitor.
Keep the Host link private
Host access required. Open the original host link with its access token on the device responsible for running the session.
Share role-specific views
Send the Display, Speaker, Moderator, or Agenda link to the people and screens that need timing context.
A typical room setup
One operator, several focused screens.
Host laptop: control the timer, agenda, display message, and shared links.
Room display: show the countdown on a projector, confidence monitor, or screen share.

Host controls FAQ
Questions before you run the room.
Who should use the host workspace?
Use the host workspace on the device operated by the facilitator, producer, teacher, event lead, or other person responsible for the live schedule.
Can a speaker or display change the timer?
No. Speaker, moderator, display, and agenda views are read-only. The host workspace is the only place for timer control.
Which links can I share with the room?
Share the display, speaker, moderator, or agenda link according to the recipient's role. Keep the original host link private because it grants timing control.
