Professional setup
Use the simple timer first, then graduate to controlled timing.
Use event run sheets, author agreements, library room schedules, accessibility plans, AV notes, and registration lists as the source of truth.
Use the timer for event pacing only, not for contracts, accessibility, speaker, audience, security, or library policy decisions.
Keep run sheets, registration notes, AV notes, signing plans, accessibility notes, and event feedback in the approved library, school, nonprofit, civic, or program system.
Use an XTimer room when event hosts, librarians, authors, moderators, AV teams, and remote viewers need one shared library author talk countdown.
