Every participant can see the speaking time boundary.
Hosts can reduce overruns without interrupting speakers verbally.
XTimer rooms support roundtable timers on shared screens while a moderator controls the flow.

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.
