Need a controller link, viewer display, or shared room?
Keep this simple timer for quick work. Move into an XTimer room when one person controls the clock and another screen shows it to a speaker, team, class, or audience.

Start from a timer people already understand.
Each preset has a clear use case, duration, and workflow. That makes the page useful for search visitors immediately, and gives professional users a natural path into XTimer rooms when they need separate controller and viewer devices.

Put the timer on a confidence monitor when the audience should not see it.
Use XTimer rooms when production staff control the keynote timer.
Frequently asked questions
What is a keynote timer?
A keynote timer is a visible countdown or segmented timer that helps main-stage speakers, hosts, and producers keep a keynote session on schedule.
Should a keynote timer be audience-facing?
Usually no. Many keynote timers are speaker-facing on a confidence monitor, while production staff control the timer separately.
Can this timer include Q&A?
Yes. Use a segmented preset with keynote time, audience questions, and closing buffer.
