Read-only timing views

Give every person the timing view they need.

Keep your controls private while speakers and shared screens follow the same room. Display View gives the room a clean, full-screen timer. Speaker View shows the current segment, warning state, and what comes next.

Speaker View

One room

Every open view follows the active timer and agenda.

Different devices

Put the room timer on a shared screen and the speaker cue on a personal one.

No extra controls

Both views are read-only, so the Host remains the only control point.

Two views, two jobs

Show the right timing context to the right person.

For the shared screen

Display View

A clean clock for the room.

Open it on a projector, confidence monitor, screen share, or second display. The active timer, warning colors, and display message stay visible without exposing controls.

  • Large current timer for the room
  • Warning colors and visible progress
  • Optional display message from the Host

For the presenter

Speaker View

A quiet cue for the speaker.

Open it on a speaker's phone, tablet, or laptop to see the current segment, time remaining, warning state, and the next segment without extra production detail.

  • Current segment and time remaining
  • Clear wrap-up and overtime cues
  • Next segment and scheduled start time when set

Four-step setup

Set up focused timing views before the session starts.

  1. 01

    Create a timer room

    Start one room for the live session. It becomes the shared source of timing for every open view.

  2. 02

    Keep the Host link private

    Use the original Host link on the device that will run the timer and agenda.

  3. 03

    Open Display View on the shared screen

    Send the Display link to the projector, screen share, confidence monitor, or second display.

  4. 04

    Send Speaker View to the presenter

    Share the Speaker link with the person who needs a focused personal timing cue.

Clear role boundaries

Share the clock without sharing control.

Each room link has a job. Keep the Host workspace private, then give the room and speakers timing information that is useful to them without adding a second control surface.

Private control

Host

Starts, pauses, resets, manages the agenda, changes display messages, and shares the right links.

Shared timing

Display

Shows the large active timer, progress, warning colors, and any display message to the room.

Personal timing

Speaker

Shows the current segment, remaining time, warning state, and what comes next for the presenter.

Useful display modes

Keep the timer visible wherever the session runs.

Projector or confidence monitor

Put Display View where the presenter or room can see the large shared countdown.

Speaker phone, tablet, or laptop

Give the presenter Speaker View for a calm, close-range cue about their segment.

Floating display timer

When the browser supports it, open Display View in picture-in-picture to keep time visible over another task.
