Frequently Asked Questions

Why use a meeting speaker timer?
A meeting speaker timer helps keep discussions on track by ensuring each agenda item receives its allotted time. It prevents overruns, respects attendees' schedules, and promotes more focused, productive meetings. For remote teams, visual countdowns are especially valuable as they provide a shared time reference.
How do I determine the right time for each agenda item?
Start by estimating the total meeting length, then allocate time proportionally based on priority and complexity. A good rule of thumb: introductions (5-10% of total), main discussion topics (50-60%), Q&A (15-20%), and wrap-up (10%). Always include buffer time for unexpected discussions.
What happens when an agenda item runs overtime?
This timer provides visual (red ring + blinking) and audible alerts when time expires. The counter continues tracking overtime so the facilitator can make informed decisions—whether to extend the item, table the discussion for later, or move to the next agenda point.
Can I edit agenda items during a meeting?
Yes! You can add, remove, or modify agenda items at any time. Changes to the current item's duration will take effect immediately. The timer also supports quick time extensions (+30s, +1min, +2min, +5min) during active countdowns for maximum flexibility.
Is my agenda data saved?
Yes, your agenda items and their durations are automatically saved to your browser's local storage. If you refresh the page or close and reopen the tab, your agenda will be restored. Note that the timer state (running/paused) resets on page reload.

Right Arrow (→) — Skip to the next agenda item

Esc — Reset all and stop
