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.

Professional setup
Use the simple timer first, then graduate to controlled timing.
Keep the timer speaker-facing rather than audience-facing when possible.
Leave a short buffer for response, prayer, or transition.
Coordinate timing with worship, media, and service hosts before starting.
Use XTimer rooms when the production team controls a confidence monitor timer.
Frequently asked questions
What is a sermon timer?
A sermon timer helps pastors, speakers, and production teams pace preaching, scripture reading, response time, and service transitions.
Should the congregation see the sermon timer?
Usually the sermon timer is best used as a speaker-facing or production-facing display, not as an audience-facing countdown.
Can the production team control the timer?
Yes. Create an XTimer room when a production team member needs to control a timer shown on a confidence monitor or backstage display.
