Free Live Production Timer
Use a live production timer for standby, open, segment, break, return, and wrap. Create an XTimer room when producers, technical directors, AV operators, hosts, stage managers, and show callers need shared live production timing.
Built for this job
Live production teams can separate standby, open, segment, break, return, and wrap.
Teams can keep timing visible without replacing approved production rundowns, cue sheets, venue procedures, platform rules, producer notes, and show callers.
XTimer rooms support shared live production timers across producers, technical directors, AV operators, hosts, stage managers, and show callers devices.

Professional setup
Use the simple timer first, then graduate to controlled timing.
Use approved production rundowns, cue sheets, venue procedures, platform rules, producer notes, and show callers as the source of truth.
Use the timer for production pacing only, not for broadcast compliance, venue safety, editorial, labor, legal, sponsor, or production decisions.
Keep rundown notes, segment notes, break cues, return cues, producer updates, and technical handoffs in approved production, classroom, campaign, CMS, training, health, safety, analytics, or operations systems.
Use an XTimer room when producers, technical directors, AV operators, hosts, stage managers, and show callers need one shared live production countdown.

Can teams share the timer on different devices?
Yes. Create an XTimer room when producers, technical directors, AV operators, hosts, stage managers, and show callers need one shared live production countdown.
