Free Online Webinar Timer
Run a clear webinar timer for waiting rooms, speaker handoffs, Q&A blocks, breaks, and live session starts. Use practical webinar presets first, then move to an XTimer room when a host or producer needs a separate controller.
Built for this job
Hosts can keep the start, content, Q&A, and closing blocks on schedule.
Attendees see a clear countdown instead of guessing when the session begins.
Producers can upgrade to a controlled room when the webinar has multiple operators.

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.
Start the waiting room countdown 5 to 10 minutes before going live.
Reserve a dedicated Q&A block so the presenter does not lose the closing.
Use a separate producer controller when the presenter should not operate the timer.
Keep the timer label specific, such as Session starts or Q&A ends.

Can I use this timer before a webinar starts?

When should a webinar use a controlled timer room?
