Use this setup in XTimer
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.
Presets that match real work
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.

Frequently asked questions
What is a panel discussion timer?
A panel discussion timer is a segmented event timer for moderator openings, panelist introductions, question rounds, audience Q&A, and closing remarks.
How do moderators keep panelists on time?
Set clear answer limits, keep Q&A as a protected segment, and use visible or private timing cues for long answers.
Can I use this as a stage timer?
Yes. Open the timer fullscreen or create an XTimer controlled room when production staff need to operate a separate stage display.
