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 parent-teacher conference timer?
A parent-teacher conference timer helps structure short school meetings around student progress, questions, support plans, and next steps.
How long should a parent-teacher conference be?
Many conferences are 10 to 15 minutes, while support-plan meetings may need 30 minutes or more.
Should families see the timer?
Use judgment. A visible agenda can help keep the meeting fair, but the timer should support the conversation rather than rush it.
