Developer's Description

Presto's Presentation Timer is a simple countdown timer that sits in the corner of the screen and lets both the presenter and audience know how much time is left for the presentation. You may configure the time, opacity, border, and font from a right-click menu. Moreover, the timer can be programmed to stay hidden until a certain time is left, or become more and more opaque as time runs out. The timer always stays on top of whatever applications are running.

Version build 1.1.2444.30417 automatically saves settings for future use, new option On Timeout -> Restart, automatically restarts timer when it expires, supports user-specified timer values, and support for playing custom sound (.wav) when timer expires.

CueTimer for Windows

version 3.0

USER GUIDE PC

• 64-bit Windows 8.1, 10 or 11
• .Net 4.8 or later installed
• v.3.0.0.16 (23. March 2024) – Fixed alignment issues when the timer goes into overtime: the size is automatically adjusted so it keeps the same width. This wasn’t working properly when the timer was displaying mm:ss. – Fixed an issue where the timer list wouldn’t change size when going to fullscreen. – Changed the behavior of the hide feature: When a new timer starts, the timer is still hidden. This is how it also works in the Mac version of CueTimer. In the old version, the start command would always unhide the window. – We changed some internal files to only work in 64 bit, to improve security. This also means that CueTimer now only works with 64-bit versions of Windows.

Control your time. Stay on schedule

CueTimer provides the tools to ensure that your event runs on schedule. Get started in just three simple steps:

1. Create the timer-list

Write down your schedule in the app interface, or import spreadsheet data: Cuetimer can open CSV & TSV files, and you can paste directly from Excel and Google Sheets. If you prefer a more dynamic workflow where you set the timings as you go, we support that as well.

2. connect the outputs

CueTimer has multiple options for viewing the timers on any device: if you are connected to an external monitor, just push the “Fullscreen” button. Or send the timer-page to broadcast-devices on your LAN-network through NDI. Remote speakers can stay in sync using our online timer.

3. control the time

The interface is tailored for show-control: Start and stop the timers with ease and edit on the fly. Redundancy and backup is secured with undo/redo and autosave. Companion with Stream Deck gives you extra buttons for the commands, and remote control over the network.

Trusted by leading industry professionals

We ❤️ CueTimer! We use it on our shows to keep everything running in military precision. We particularly enjoy using it in conjunction with Companion to enable us to adjust the timers on the fly, giving us feedback on our adjustments and allowing us to hit essential cue times throughout the day. Whether it’s a live event or a broadcast, you will always see us running CueTimer on our Streamdecks! – Ben Dave, Dot + Diode, Great Britain

I can without exaggeration say that CueTimer has changed my life on show site in many ways.

I really enjoy how much customization is available for the display features like creating a template for repeatable segments. My customers also love the messaging feature. For the cost of a license, laptop and small monitor, it’s definitely a better value proposition over a traditional clock system.

– Craig Trosclair, Corporate Lighting and Audio, USA

We are extremely happy to use CueTimer in our productions. We constantly provide AV production solutions for streams, hybrid events and live events catering to state ministries and high-profile corporate clients, so a flexible stage communication and timing tool like this is invaluable to us in securing the flow of the show.

– Panu Koskinen, ShowTekniikka, Finland

We have installed CueTimer on several Macbook Air and use the tool regularly. The range of functions is very large, the design can be adapted almost as desired and saved as a template. If necessary, the timer can be shared via a link over the Internet, but the software basically works offline, which is a great advantage over other products.

– Simon Anliker, Kilchenmann AG , Switzerland

CueTimer and APS are unbelievable lifesavers when working with corporate AV. It helps speed up my workflows and keeps the events on time. The option to give moderators and event producers a link for timers is a great feature. I’m very happy with the support and customer service. I recommend these tools for anyone who asks about solutions for presentation-switching and timers.

– Truls Skæveland, Eventi AS, Norway

Finding a clock-solution for Lego Masters Norway that was reliable, flexible and easy to work with in a TV setting proved to be a challenge until we came across PresentationTools and their CueTimer software. I would definitely recommend CueTimer as a countdown timer and tool to keep time in a tight program.

– Michael Thunem Berlund, Hilux A/S, Norway

A countdown timer application for physical, virtual & hybrid events

CueTimer can be used for any event that needs precise timings:

Conferences & Seminars

A monitor with a countdown-timer is very useful for someone holding a presentation. With CueTimer it is easy to control this monitor and display the timers for the different speakers that enter the stage. When the time is running out you can make the colours change to notify the speakers.

Streaming & Remote Workflows

CueTimer is well suited for the digital workflow that has evolved during the Covid 19 pandemic. We have added multiple options for viewing the timers that should cover most scenarios: you can feed the video-mixers with HDMI or NDI video, and share a webpage with the timers to remote presenters and crew-members.

Broadcasting & Gameshows

A TV-show needs a production-timer that is reliable, flexible, and easy to use. CueTimer was built to solve this demanding task. To give an example, read more  about how CueTimer was used as a countdown-timer for the season one of Lego Masters Norway.

Multiple Output Options – HDMI, NDI & Online Countdowns

With CueTimer you can send the countdown anywhere:

Push the “Fullscreen” button to place the countdown on the external display. With SDI/Fibre extenders the monitor can be placed far away from the computer.

CueTimer has a native  NDI -output using the latest NDI 5 framework. This lets you share the countdown as graphics over the local LAN-network.

Create a webpage to share the current countdown and the schedule with a list of future timers. The page will scale automatically for all browser-sizes.

Control with Companion

Companion lets you control different devices over the local network and with Streamdeck hardware-boxes. It is free of charge and more info can be found  here.  Our Companion module includes buttons for the most important commands, and it has feedback for the current timer with colors that can be set from CueTimer. With our premade presets found in the Companion menu it is easy to drag and drop the buttons where you need them. The Companion module is built on our open API which can be found here.

Customise the style of the fullscreen timer

The HDMI and NDI-output is completely customizable with colors, placement, fonts, and images. You can have a backgound-image for decoration, your company logo for branding, and to notify the speaker that the time is running out, add a blinking border.

Send messages to the presenters

The confidence-monitor with the timer is one of the few places where you can send messages to the presenter without the audience noticing it. Let them know if their microphone needs to be adjusted, if the next speaker is delayed, or use it for questions from the audience.

If you have a big monitor, place the message on the top of the screen along with the other content. Or if you really want to grab the attention of the speaker, give the message flashy colors and make it fill the whole screen. 

New in version 2.5: Spreadsheet-import

Now you can import a spreadsheet with a schedule or a rundown into CueTimer. And with the Auto-Schedule feature, you just need to know the start-times, and CueTimer will calculate the durations for you.

• Import CSV and TSV files
• Paste spreadsheet-data
• Link timers with start and end times

Control your licences from the user-dashboard

With a subscription-licence  you  can  create an account  on this site where you can monitor your licences, release licences from activated computers, and manage your subscriptions registered to your email-address.

CueTimer Feature Overview

Create a list of timers from our custom spreadsheet

Multiple outptut-options to display the timers on any device:

HDMI fullscreen output. Push the Fullscreen-button do display the timer on the external monitor.

Add warnings to notify the speaker that the time is running out

Options for what happens when the timer ends: go into overtime, stop the timer, or start the next timer

Change the duration by adding and subtracting minutes or manipulate the speed of the timers.

Customize the countdown-windows with colors, animations and scaling.

Change the style when the timer changes status. For example, when the timer ends, you can make the screen red, and make the countdown blink.

Send messages that is displayed on the timer-outputs. The appearance of the message is fully customisable: place it in the corner, or fill the whole screen.

Native desktop-apps for Mac and Windows that are light on system-resources. Built for demanding live-shows.

Support for multitasking: With native control over the CueTimer-windows, you can display our timers while using other apps.

Undo/Redo & Autosave. We got you covered if you accidentally start the next timer.

Use Stream Deck buttons to control CueTimer through Companion. Then you also get remote-control over the local network.

Support for multiple workflows: The timer-list can be an ordered schedule, or a selection of timer-templates that can be started easily

Import CSV & TSV files with any delimiter

Copy & paste spreadsheet-data into CueTimer

Spreadsheet-import menu where you can sort the columns you want to import

Export the timer-list as a CSV file

Start and stop the timers with keyboard-shortcuts or large buttons

OSC messages to and from CueTimer. Trigger other devices when the timer ends, or start and stop timers with OSC commands.

An open API that lets you control CueTimer over the local network through TCP/IP commands. Create your own controller-app, or use the ones already made for you.

Creating a better timer

Timer was originally developed for TEDxLjubljana . At the time the team was using a countdown clock that was made in PowerPoint and that simply did not cut it. We needed something that looks better and is easier to use. It was time to create a new timer.

This free countdown timer is used on our practices and in LIVE events. Later it was shared with other TEDx organizers all across the globe and now it is here for you too. Timer works flawlessly and it will improve your event.

wow, incredible, very easy and good graphics! thanks!

I love this app. Very clean!

The only thing I would love out of this is: – To be able to change the seconds (Needy speakers) – Editable/Custom “Time is up” screen.

Yes, the intention of this timer is to be as clean and simple as possible. As for changing the seconds, you can do that in the EXTENDED version or in the APP , which also has some other extra features. Tnx for your comment!

Thanks, Igor! You’re a life saver.

Thanks for your work on this and willingness to share it with us:)

I am glad this timer proved valuable to you 😉 Thank you also for your kind comment!

What a great looking timer! I think the only options (that are already listed above) to help make it the end all be all of timers would be the ability to edit seconds in the MAC/PC versions and the ability to change the screen to a yellow “warning color” when reaching a certain amount of time left. Other than that, this is a fantastic software and thank you very, very much for sharing it with everyone – it is now our “go to” standard!

Hey, thank you for your comment. As for this timer it will not be changed. It was intended to be as simple/minimal as possible.

For more see Extended version , or App version . Best

I have Mac book pro, retina, one year old. Downloaded – works fine. But does not reset by Delete. everything else works. Suggestions?

Try Fn + Delete

Found the answer! Must do function/delete to work on my Mac. Thanks for the great timer. Used it last year for TEDx event. Using this Saturday for TEDxPCC. Best, Rachel

Great, I am glad it works and thank you for reporting. If you like the timer, please share it with others. I also wish you a successful TEDx event! 🙂

Great idea! I would love to use this in sessions on a beamer.

It is clear and simple, with a great big red splashscreen on countdown zero.

– time can not be edited during countdown. I use this when my group needs just that one minute extra. just using cursor-keys is fine to preserve simplicity. – reset sets you back to 10 minutes, so you have to retune it every time. – no wake-up sound.

Please fix this and I will be your greatest fan.

Hi, tnx for the comment and your feedback, it is valuable! For now we will not add extra functions, but we might use your suggestion next time. You can try using pause and simply continue when needed, and app also has sounds. Best

Thank you! Just what we needed!

Many thanks! This is just what I was looking for. Oh simplicity…you will NEVER be replaced. 🙂

Thank you the timer is wonderful Hermann

Thank you Will! If you like it, please share it with others too. We want this timer to go all across the world 🙂 Thanks

This is great. Is it possible to have the audible countdown on the PC/Mac version or is this just available on the phone version?

Many thanks

Hi Debra, thank you. Audio is available in extended and in app version.

This timer is the standard that we use for all our conferences & meetings now. Clean, clear and simple. We have had SO many presenters that came up to us raving about this timer it’s AMAZING!!

Great stuff guys!!

P.s – Will be fantastic if you guys could think about developing a presenter / control communication system integrated into the clock. Eg. Ability to type a message for the speaker.

Nic, thank you very much for your comment, wow! We are very happy to hear that timer serves you well.

As for suggestion, we might implement it in the future. For now, maybe you can try this: 1. Add an extra monitor besides timer, there you can type something using word processor, or use some appropriate program for typing messages 2. Make timer smaller (use ESC to exit fullscreen display), adjust the size of timer and then use a the other part of the screen for messages to the presenter.

Can I use the timer in Powerpoint 2008 for Mac? If so … how?

Keith Watts

Hi, you don´t need Powerpoint to use this timer. This is a standalone program, you simply run it and it works 😉

Hi, i love the minimalistic design. Thanks a lot for it

best! you can ad a second-change maybe:)

Igor, you really are THE COUNTDOWN KING. Great app! Easy to download, install, use, and customize. It looks great too! One of the best combinations of form and function in one app.

Thank you Alex, Quasel and Luigi!

This is EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for! I’VE BEEN LOOKING EVERYWHERE for something to help my students keep their presentations timely in class, so I can now just start the timer on my laptop, place it next to them on the desk, and discreetly help them stay on time! Love the simple design.

Maddam, thank you for your kind comment, glad it helps.

Now, please click like, let´s spread this timer to the last corner of the Earth, I want to see even eskimos use it 😉

Thanks Igor, Great tool.

Minimalist but fully functional. This is what great design is about. Do the job well and be easy to use. And then it’s free!.Well done.

Thanks Paul, keep it up

Thank you very much. Simple fast free aqurate and BIG (vieawable letters) All the best…

This count-down timer was perfect for our event. Easy to use with BIG numbers that no one can miss. It was exactly what I was looking for. THANK YOU!!!

My only suggestion is that when the timer is reset with the Delete key that it would go back to the previously set time as almost all of our talks over two days were 15 minutes in length rather than the default 10 minutes. But it is easy to increase/decrease the time so that was only a very minor inconvenience.

THANK YOU again for making this timer available. It really was perfect for our needs.

Thank you very much for your kind comment, I am glad the timer was usefull to you.

We have published a new timer that includes extra functions such as the one you mention and more. Best!

Hi, I was looking for a timer and end up on your website. As you have heard that sitting kills. New research is pointing that sitting in an office etc. for long periods of time is very unhealthy. And they recommend that one gets up every 10 to 15 minutes and stretch etc. This small pause alone can counter some of the ill effects of sitting. My problem is that I forgot to get up, so I would like to have a timer that will remind me to get up. Timer must be on the desktop, easy and fast to use and most importantly it must automatically start counting another 10 or 15 minute period. Also the alarm must be quiet so that it doesn’t wake people up who might be sleeping in the same room. Computer user can hear even a very quiet peep, because one is near the computer. Alarm could be visual too.. no sound at all. It could flash a picture of an alarm clock on the screen every 10 minutes. It must be totally automatic every 10 minutes. What you think about this idea? Let me know if you make this alarm. Timo from Finland

Hi Timo, tnx for you comment. As for your idea I think it is interesting, but this timer is not intended for the use you describe. This one is mostly intended for timing public events, speaches, pitches, business meetings etc.. The timers you are looking for are allready created, simply google search for something like “pomodoro timer pc” or “interval timer” and you will find them. There are lots of them allready created 😉 Best regards

I have a live stream that I’d love to have a countdown timer to use like yours.

There are a couple features I’d love to see added.

1. Ability to change background color 2. Ability to make background transparent <—BIG one 3. The ability to change the font color 4. Ability to outline the number fonts (because sometimes a background can be the same color as the font when the background is transparent. This would allow us to "outline" the font and keep it visible).

Its remarkable that no one has really done a good countdown timer for windows like yours. I've looked high and low. Yours is by far the closest to perfect.

Wonderful app and very easy to use…. Thanx

Thank you for this wonderful timer. I use it in my training classes. You made my day. 🙂

Thank you for the timer. We use it in our meetings. I used others earlier. But This is very useful and unique.

To all of you interested. We have just uploaded the improved timer, which has many of requested features, based on your comments.

You can find it here ( Minimalistic ) and another version ( Nano ). Best

We are a corporate event AV/Lighting/Staging company and occasionally we have a request for a speaker countdown timer. This one is great…the price is right…and I’ll probably go ahead and buy the one without the second timer…great deal there too!

It works…what more can you say about an application?

I love the app for iOS! Any chance you will make a version compatible with the Amazon Fire HDX tablets? I see the app is available in the Amazon Appstore, but it only seems to be compatible with android OS.

Hey, thanks for writing in. Currently we will not be developing for other platforms. We are focusing on Android, iOS, PCs and MACs.. enough work with that 😉 Best

Is it possible to replace the background color with a custom image in the extended app?

Yes, it is possible to change color in the extended version, you can also change text, but you cannot add an image.

Plain and simple tool that does what it’s supposed to do beautifully. Plus, no installation is required. It’s just what I was looking for, thank you so much for sharing it for free!

hey the timer is pretty good…but could you please tell me how do we set it for seconds for eg: if i wish to set it for 15 s, then is there any option?

Hi, it can be done, but you need the extended version to do it. Best

Thanks a lot, this is by far the best countdown timer I could find on the net. I am about to buy the mini version to use for my business. This will run on a second monitor. I would love to be able to communicate with the speaker smoothly WITHOUT leaving the timer’s fullscreen mode and without having to slide a ppt/word doc with my mouse from the main monitor. Any Idea how I could achieve that?

Hi and thank you. I don´t see a problem here, if I understand you correctly. On one monitor you will be running a full screen timer and on other (extended desktop) monitor, you have your presentation. It is allready being done like that on numerous TEDx presentations, as it was on ours. Best

I currently use the Apimac timer for my Anatomy lab exams because of one feature it has. It can be set to make a sound then automatically reset and start counting down again each time it finishes a countdown cycle. There are a number of things I do not like about the product, but that feature works and is necessary for my application. Does you timer have this feature? If so I would be interested.

Hi Steven, yes, our Extended version of the timer has exactly what you are looking for, and more.

I like the additional functions of the extended version. But was thinking that another feature that would be nice is having the color change (such as to yellow) with one minute remaining (or have that able to be modified). That way, the speaker will know when they are running short and must wrap things up.

Hi Steve, thanks for your comment and suggestion. The Nano version of the timer uses a very similar function to this, where the circle changes color not the numbers. This way it is visually more appealing. Best

Great timer really. Just one question: Is there a way that, when paused, the timer does not show the instructions about space, del and esc?

Hi Tanja, thank you. Yes, this is possible, not in the free, but paid version of the timer. You have the option to disable instructions in the Settings. Best

Is there a way to imbed the counter into a powerpoint presentation?

Hi there, no. For this we developed a different timer, Slideshow Timer a free powerpoint timer .

Great App! But small question, what is the take-away of difference between Mini and Nano? The way of display and Nano can set up to 10 days? Seems like Nano is better than Mini?

Thank you. Key difference is the design of the timer, visual representation of time as well as some other minor functions, like the maximum time you can set, etc ..

hOW if i just want to count for teen seconds? please kindly to reply this comment:) Thanks in advance

Hi, you need the Extended (PRO) version or Nano timer for that, there you can set time less than one minute.

simply beautiful !

Best timer available so far I have installed. Neat and easy settings.

how do you get it to count up?

Hi, you can´t, free version does not have that feature. Check the PRO version.

i want sound it … it is possible?

Not the free version.

Just downloaded + unzipped it, my Mac (running 10.10.5) showed an error saying “package is damaged and has to be moved to trash”. I downloaded Pre-Sierra.

Hi, you need to follow new download instructions here: https://www.countdownkings.com/mac-download-instructions/

Hello I was trying ti find a desktop background type count down timer which can be pushed to some 800 employees computer centrally. (The timer should be displayed on desktop background and will not affect users files, folders and other work. Pop up etc are sometimes annoying so was trying to find desktop background based timer.

If anyone know some solution, please help!

It’s awesome. Easy, good graphics and smart !

Hey, thanks a lot for your comment. Glad the timer works for you.

Thanks alot. this just made my day

Hello. Great timer! Is there dual s screen functionality? It would be great to have the timer launch on a different monitor instead of having to drag it to the live monitor.

Hi, thank you. At the moment not, to keep the timer simple, we need to do it like this. Best

Ahh….at last you have saved my day,THANKS for this simple and beautiful timer i really love it. Keep up with the good work, all the BEST.

Ahh….at last you have saved my day,THANKS for this simple and beautiful timer i really love it. Keep up with the good work, all the BEST. Hope that you will update it soon.

this is awesome

Hi Igor, Love, love, love your timer. Have been using it at all our events over the last few years and it works every time. We’ve just had the free timer so far. I have 2 questions for you. I’m wondering does the next version allow you to show your speakers how far over they are going if they continue beyond the TIME’s UP! Just for the few people that like to continue! I am not sure from the descriptions if you can just review it afterwards. I need that information to be live to them. Also if you pay for the software, can you download it to a few laptops (i.e. our team members). And what happens if there are updates? We are a small team and all use it at various events. Thanks for such a super product. Loads of people comment on the punctuality of our events; helped so much by the Countdown Timer! Mary

Hi Mary, thank you so much for your kind comment! Yes, you get extra features in the PRO version you can get here: https://www.countdownkings.com/countdown-timer-pc-mac/ . You can purchase more than one license at a discount price. Thanks again and all the best.

Can the timer be set to a different time like 3 minutes, 5 min. etc. and when the time has run out that it goes back to the time set instead of 10 minutes?

Hi, yes, with PRO version: https://www.countdownkings.com/countdown-timer-pc-mac/

Hi Igor. I just found you timer and it really looks impressive. However, I want to know whether it can be included in a Keynote presentation. I need the timer to appear on a slide for activities during class.

Hi there, we are publishing such timer soon. Best

is it possible for it to count minus when time is finished

Hi, with the PRO version it is. Best

Hello, can i use the Countdown Timer inside a PowerPoint Presentation? If so, how? Please advice. Thank you.

Hi, no, but you can use this timer: https://www.countdownkings.com/free-powerpoint-timer .

Hi Igor, In addition to the last question, with the Pro edition, Can i extend the view of the timer to a second screen while i continue doing other things on the main screen.

I must say the free version is awesome. thanks

This might help you. Its for the other timer, but the principle is the same: https://www.countdownkings.com/how-multiple-monitor-setup/

Does the pro version the ability to change the screen to a yellow “warning color” when reaching a certain amount of time left? if it is yes, I will purchase

No it does not. Nano timer changes color, but cannot be modified when.

Hey Igor, Awesome timer! Thank you very much! I use it at our startup pitch events. Is there a way to reset the timer to a previously set position => our pitchs are always 7 min. long. When I reset the timer it always goes back to 10 min. Am I missing something? Thanks a lot!

Hey Igor, I just answered my previous question by buying the pro version. However, I get the message that the file is damaged and can’t open it. Can you please help. Thanks!

Hi Mladen, please check FAQ, point 4: https://www.countdownkings.com/faq/ Best

The timer is nice and simple. Thank you!

hi Igor. are you able to build a count down clock like this , but with preset time options (options available on the screen) i am needing one with 5-6 different, preset options.

thanks Andy

Hi Andy, not at the moment, but will keep your ideas for future upgrades. Best

hi Igor, this timer is the best trust me.

question i have before purchasing pro is if,

1) can we count up

2) can the screen split. so the top screen is the countdown or countup, while the bottom screen displays real time.

please reply as soon as possible

Sorry for the late reply, missed the comment. 1) yes 2) to do this you will need another timer, where you can run multiple instances at the same time and it supports what you need: https://www.countdownkings.com/powerpoint-timer-pro-sale Hope this answered your questions. Best

This is really great……….. Thanks for the timer

Thanks for the app. It’s awesome, exactly what I needed.

Hey, looks great. I’m using it with children for the charity I work for! Question is: Is this actually free or will I need to pay for it after a number of days?

Hi Beth, thank you. The program is free but the timing is limited to 20 minutes. With paid version the limit is removed plus you get more options.

a quick question: does this work for extended view so we can set time on one screen and display the timer on another?

Hi Mike, it only works as a duplicated screen. But we are working on a new timer which will have a separate screen to do all the controls from there. Should be released in next couple of months. Best

Thanks very helpful

Is there a way to have the countdown timer always display over any screen? I have minimized it to the way I need it but just want it to always be on top while I work. Thank you and this tool is absolutely amazing 10/10 would recommend.

Click on Presentation Timer to open the program control window for the display items that are selected, in this case only the DEMO display will be used.  

Entering this control panel, will have no immediate impact on what is shown on the DEMO display.  Assuming it was in clock mode originally, it will still be displaying time in its original configured display color.  However, it is within this window that the presentation timer parameters can be customized - length of the presentation timer, the color of the displays at each phase, the time when the color changes will occur, whether or not to trigger an alarm, and the option to begin a count up event after the timer expires.  Once all parameters are selected, click Reset Timer.  The Reset Timer command is what sends the program parameters to the display(s) selected.  As noted in the upper left corner, the control from this window will only impact the DEMO display. 

The Reset Timer command changes the DEMO display from its original clock mode to presentation timer mode showing 00:05:00 in green.  When the Start button is clicked, the countdown will begin on the display.  At the 00:01:00 mark, the display color will transition from green to yellow at 00:00:59.  When the countdown ends at 00:00:00, assuming an audible alarm system or a buzzer is installed through the relay connection of the display, the alarm will sound for 1 second.  If no alarm is connected, selecting this box will have no effect.  If Start Countup After Countdown Expires is selected, when the countdown time expires, the display will change from yellow to red and begin to count up so it is clear how much time has transpired beyond the presentation time limit.  If this box is not selected, when time runs out the display will return to clock mode in its configured color and display the time of day. 

If you want to return to clock mode until the next speaker is ready, simply click Set Time Mode and the display will return to clock mode and the Presentation Timer window can remain open.  When you are ready for the next speaker, assuming there are no changes needed to the program or which displays are used, simply click Reset Timer.  The display(s) selected, in this case only the DEMO display, will return to display 00:05:00 in green until Start is selected to begin the next countdown program.  If different displays are needed, simply exit out of the Presentation Timer control window to return to the home window of TM-Manager.  Select the necessary displays, return to the Presentation Timer control window, set the appropriate parameters and click Reset Timer to send those timer parameters to the selected displays, and begin again.

Presentation Controls with TM-Timer

Version 2.0 (or above) of TM-Timer is required to take advantage of the presentation timer controls for the RGB clock displays.  Additional information on the application and how to install it can be found on the TM-Timer product page or the TM-Timer section of the documents page .

STEP 1:  Upon opening TM-Timer, select the bottom button on the screen to "Query Timers."  This should result in the display of all devices on this network that can be accessed for TM-Timer controls.

STEP 2:  Select any and all of the displays that you wish to control for your presentation timer.  In this instance, only the DEMO display was selected, and the other two displays will remain in their current clock mode.  Selection of multiple devices provides simultaneous and synchronized control of all displays selected.

STEP 3:  Select the menu “⋮” in the top left corner of the TM-Timer window to access the program control options for the displays selected.  In this case, Presentation Controls will be selected.

STEP 4:  In this screen of the Presentation Controls, the Total Time represents the full length of the presentation in seconds.  For a 5 minute presentation, you would enter 300 seconds as your total time.  

STEP 5: Change Time is the time left (in seconds) when the timer should change colors.  Entering 60 seconds in this field, means that with one minute left in the presentation, the color of the display will change from green to yellow, helping the speaker recognize that their time is running out.  In this example, when the timer gets to 1 minute, the 01:00 displayed will be in green, but the countdown from 00:59 will continue in yellow until time runs out.

STEP 6:  By selecting Enable CountUp, the display begins a count up event when time runs out, which is emphasized with another color change from yellow to red.  If this is not enabled, the display immediately returns to its clock mode to display time in its configured display color when the time runs out. 

Selecting the Enable Alarm the relay will activate a buzzer if installed.  If there is nothing installed through a relay connection, selecting this control has no observable change to any function on the display and will not emit any sound.

While this is the most basic use of the presentation timer shortcut using TM-Timer, there are additional ways to customize the program.  This might include changing the colors at the various program steps if the green-yellow-red color changes are not suitable for your application.  Additional color changes beyond the green-yellow-red progression could be added for more visual emphasis of the time remaining throughout the countdown.  The length of the relay alarm triggered when time is up can be adjusted from the standard 2 seconds, to a shorter or longer duration.  There are limitless options if you want to create a more complex presentation event.  So let's take a look at the easiest way to customize your presentation timer program starting with the shortcut program.

STEP 7: Assuming that no other timer programs have been run, the Presentation Timer shortcut program will be in the active memory (RAM) of the clock. Select the ◀ in the top left corner from the Presentation Control screen that you used in Steps 4 thru 6 to go back to the TM-Timer home screen where your clocks are queried. Then from the top left corner of the home screen, select the “⋮” to get to the timer control menu.  Select Timer Programs.  

STEP 8: From this screen, the individual steps from the shortcut program are visible.  Customization of the program can be done from this window within your local TM-Timer app. You can select the “⋮” of any step to edit the existing step, insert or delete steps, etc.

STEP 9: The “⋮” on the right side of Step 1 is selected.  Thus the step may be edited, another step inserted ahead of this first step, or the color change step can be deleted so the presentation countdown event begins in the original configured clock color.

STEP 10: Under the edit screen, the type of function for this step can be changed to an entirely different function, or the conditions of the existing color change function can be changed.  Hit Save when the edits are completed.

STEP 11:  Under the edit screen of Step 2, you can see the CountDown Function is selected and the options to adjust the start/stop boundaries of this initial countdown event beginning at 5 minutes. Because of the color change event, this countdown stops at 1 minute so the color change step can be inserted next.

STEP 12: Once the program is customized for your application, press Reset to send the updated settings information from the local app to the display.  Press Start if you wish to begin running the new program. 

If you wish to have this program stored in the clock so that others can access the program (not just on your local app), you will need to go back to the TM-Timer home screen by pressing the ◀ in the top left corner.  Then select the “⋮” to get to the timer control menu.  Select Save All Programs.  This will send (and overwrite) all programs from your local TM-Timer app to the the selected clock(s). 

If several different presentation timers are needed, it will be best to create them from scratch.  From the TM-Timer home screen, select Timer Programs.  Select one of the ten different program slots from the pull-down menu from the Timer Program screen.  Then create and customize each of the unique programs that are needed for your applications. 

Keep your meetings on schedule with TimeMachines RGB clock displays and our new presentation timer programs!

Single-color and multi-color RGB TimeMachines displays models can all run the same presentation timer programs depending on their firmware.  However the color options within the Presentation Timer programs will have no effect on a single-color display color selections since those displays only contain one color of LED.  The count down, count up, and alarm features will run identically in both single-color displays and the multi-color RGB display models.  The Presentation Timer programs were added within the following firmware packages for our displays:

• POE: V4.8 for serial number beginning with a "B", V5.1 for serial number beginning with a "C"
• WIFI: V2.5 for serial numbers beginning with a "B", V3.5 for serial number beginning with a "C"

To experience the full visual color capabilities of TimeMachines presentation timer programs, select any RGB display and download TM-Manager or TM-Timer for FREE!

Adding a Countdown Timer to Your Presentations

If you want to move directly to the countdown timer while delivering a presentation, copy the countdown timer into your presentation:

• Launch PowerPoint and open the primary PowerPoint presentation where you want to add the countdown timer slides.
• Next, open the countdown clock presentation file. Because these timer files are saved as PowerPoint shows, you can’t “open” the file by double-clicking on the file name; this action runs the show. Instead, use PowerPoint’s  File > Open command and navigate to the location of the file. Or press  [Ctrl] + O for  Open .
• From the Slide Sorter view, select each of the slides in the countdown timer you want to bring into the primary presentation. To select all, press  [Ctrl] + A . Or hold down  [Ctrl]  while selecting slides individually.
• Next, copy the selected timer slides by pressing [Ctrl] + C or pick  Copy from the  Home tab or right-click on a selected slide to pick  Copy  from the shortcut menu.
• Switch to the primary presentation and move to the Slide Sorter view. Move to the location where you want to add the timer.

• By default, the copied slides will take on the appearance of the primary PowerPoint presentation. To keep the source formatting and maintain the appearance of the timer slides, look for the Paste Options button. Click on the drop-down arrow and pick  Keep Source Formatting .

Changing the Color of Your PowerPoint Countdown Timer

Follow these steps if you’d like to change the color or background of one of these PowerPoint countdown clocks:

• Launch PowerPoint and open the countdown timer file you want to change. As detailed above, because these timer files are saved as PowerPoint shows (.ppsx), you can’t “open” the file by double-clicking on the file name; this action runs the show. Instead, use PowerPoint’s File > Open command and navigate to the location of the file. Or press  [Ctrl] + O for  Open . Save the presentation with a new name before applying new formatting.
• Switch to the Slide Sorter view to make it easier to see the slides. If you want to change the color or background of all of the slides, you don’t need to select the slides. If you’ve added the timer slides to a larger presentation, hold down  [Ctrl]  while selecting slides individually.
• Next, move to the  Design tab. Although this is likely too dramatic for your timer, one option is to pick a different theme from the Themes group. To change the background color, select  Format Background from the  Customize group.
• To change the color of the numbers of the digital countdown timers, click on the drop-down arrow (More) in the Variants group and choose  Colors to select from different theme color combinations. You can even customize your own. Depending on your color choices, you may need to manually change the color of the text in the ending slide.

How can you use these PowerPoint countdown timers in your next presentation?

Creating Your Own Countdown Timer

Follow these steps to create your own custom PowerPoint countdown timer to match your corporate template or branding or save time and download a countdown clock .

These how-to steps for creating a PowerPoint countdown clock work in Microsoft PowerPoint 365, 2019, 2016, 2013 or 2010 for Windows.

• To begin, create a new presentation in PowerPoint and insert a blank slide. Or insert a blank slide in an existing presentation. Edit the Slide Master or slide design to customize the background as desired.
• Choose Insert > Text Box and draw a text box on your slide. Next, type the number ‘1’ or ’01’ or ‘001’ depending on how many digits you want your counter to display. Center the text, change the font style, and increase the font to a large size. Improve your countdown timer by experimenting with slide backgrounds, transitions, animations, font color and style, etc. to create a unique look. Add images or text such as “Minutes Left” or “Seconds Remaining.”

• Now that you have a master slide with the timings set, choose View > Slide Sorter and click the formatted timer slide. Right-click on the slide and left-click on Duplicate (you can also copy and paste the original slide). The Duplicate keyboard shortcut, [Ctrl]+D also works. Repeat as many times as you want to create the sequential slides for the countdown timer.

• Insert a concluding slide with text such as “Finished” or “Time’s Up!” Optionally, add a blank, black slide at the end.
• For an easier and more professional display, save your presentation as a PowerPoint Show. Choose File > Save As and change the Save as type to PowerPoint Show . This format automatically launches the slide show without opening PowerPoint. Tip: Copy your show file to the desktop for easy access.

How to Fade a Picture or Part of a Picture in PowerPoint (Using a Gradient)

You can fade a picture in PowerPoint by drawing a rectangle shape on top of the picture and then filling the rectangle with a gradient from opaque to transparent. This technique is often used to fade an image into the background of a slide. Since the rectangle is placed on top of the image and then text may be placed on top of the rectangle, you may need to reorder the objects.

How to Lock an Image, Shape or Other Object in PowerPoint

You can now lock an image, shape or other object in PowerPoint. Objects can be locked in Normal View or Slide Master View. Only PowerPoint 365 users can lock objects to prevent moving and resizing. This is helpful if you want to select and move other objects on the slide or prevent others from moving or resizing an object. You can lock items using the context menu or the Selection Pane.

The Concept of the 4th Wall

During a show, actors might congregate at the front of the stage, looking above the audience's heads, and espouse the beauty they see in the sunset, or wonder whose coming down the drive way, or any number of imaginary scenarios that truly are not there.

But what does this have to do with Speakers?

The Speaker Presentation Timer was created to help break speakers of the habit of checking their watches, calling for the time, or actually commenting on how much time they have left for their presentation.

Why is this important?

When you are presenting, you are providing a service to your audience. You are serving their needs with information and (hopefully) entertainment. Staying in character is just as 

important for the speaker as it is for an actor. In the case of your presentation, you are there for them!

However, the minute you check your watch, call out, "How am I doing for time?" or "How much time do I have left?" you not only tell your audience, "I'm doing my job right now!" you also look incredibly unprofessional.

There is a better way

The Pro Speaker Presentation Timer app can be configured so that the phone in your pocket, or the Apple watch (watch app not available for Android) on your wrist will subtly vibrate at certain points within your presentation, reminding you of where you are in your presentation, and where you need to be. 

If you're stuck behind a lectern, the screen has been designed to not flood your face with bright light, yet will change colour and offer visual prompts as to where you are in your speech, and how much time is left for each section.

 With the Pro Speaker Presentation Timer, you will never again have to do the audience the disservice of breaking the 4th wall. When you're on, You're ON!

 Save all Your Speeches

You don't have to start from scratch with each Speech. The Pro Speaker Presentation Timer, allows you to have multiple speech definitions in one app. 

At the main screen, users can add, new speeches, or swipe left on any speech to trash, copy or lock the speech. The locking feature ensures you don't accidently muck around with your perfect speech.

Touch the speech title to run or modify the speech.

The Right Section at the Right Time

The play button starts your timer. Game on!

The Section Timers are such a powerhouse for speakers to practice their presentations and to finally give their presentations without actually having to check the time.

Each section can be defined for audio, visual or tactile reminders. Breaking up your speech into sections allows you to practice your openings, your stories and your conclusions--key components to your professional presentations.

Define sections for each component of your presentation, or just the important parts - that's up to you. Default timers are in place automatically with each speech to give you a 5-minute, 2-minute and a times-up warning. Deactivate or activate at will.

Want to program and practice one component of your speech? No Problem

Click the watch icon to sync to your iWatch, live and on the fly.

Design your own flow.

Drilling into the sections allows you to define your notification type (audio, visual, tactile, or a cool mix), allows you to define a duration for each of your sections, and the color of the notification. Then practice just that section by hitting the play button.

However you create, practice or deliver your speeches and presentations, the Pro Speaker Presentation Speech Timer adapts to your needs, your style, and your professionalism.

The Best Way to Record Presentations on Mac with Audio and Webcam

Compared with recording presentations with Apple Keynote and MS PowerPoint, EaseUS RecExperts provides a more optimal recording experience.

It lets you record PowerPoint presentation with audio and video on Mac in just a few clicks. Apart from recording MS PowerPoint, it also records slides from Keynote, Google Slides, Zoom meetings, and more.

When recording is finished, you can trim the content using the AI-empowered editing functions. Then, export a recorded PPT video in high quality with MP4, MOV, and other file types. Download the software below to record lectures on Mac with ease.

Let's see how to record a presentation on Mac with the EaseUS screen recording software.

⭐ Before you begin :

• To record a presentation with your face , connect a webcam (e.g., Logitech C920 or similar) or a digital camera or HD camcorder with video recording capabilities to your computer.
• To capture your narration sound, connect an external microphone (USB condenser microphones, Lavalier mics, or Headset mics) to the device.
• Prepare good lighting for high-quality video.
• Set up a clean and professional background.
• Practice your presentation and be familiar with the content.

Now, open the PPT on Keynote, PowerPoint, Google Slides, or other presentation apps. Then, follow the steps below:

Step 1. Firstly, launch EaseUS RecExperts on your Mac. There are two options, "Full Screen" and "Region," for you to select the recording area.

Step 2. Then, click on the "Webcam" button at the bottom. When a "Record webcam" window pops up, click the button to activate the webcam, and you can select the device you want to use from the dropdown menu.

Step 3. If you want to capture the screen with audio, the "Sound" button beside "Webcam" can help. You can click on the two buttons on the "Select recording sound" window to choose the audio source, such as the system sound, the microphone audio, or two of them.

After adjusting the settings appropriately, click on the "REC" button to start recording.

Step 4. Now, you can record the Mac screen and your webcam at the same time. After capturing all the content you need, hit the "Stop" button to end it, and this software will offer you a built-in video player to view the video you captured.

Record a PowerPoint Presentation with the Internal Recorder

MS PowerPoint for Mac is not only a tool for creating, editing, and sharing presentations but is also equipped with an internal audio recorder to help presenters capture the screen, audio, and webcam simultaneously on macOS.

People who want to record presentations on Mac with themselves showing faces can use the Cameo feature in PowerPoint. Cameo enables users to insert a live camera feed directly on a slide.

Let's look at how to record PowerPoint presentations with audio and video Mac.

If you don't need to record yourself on Mac , skip the first two steps, which aim to add a webcam overlay to the PPT.

Step 1. Open the slides on PowerPoint. Go to Insert > Cameo.

Step 2. A new tab of Camera will appear along with a placeholder for your camera feed. Click the on-off icon to turn on the video feed. You can see yourself on the slide.

• If you have multiple cameras, click Preview to pick another one.
• You can apply effects to your camera.
• You can use the anchor to change the placement and size of your camera feed.

Step 3. Go to Slide Show > Record Slide Show. Select Record from Beginning… or Record from Current Slide….

Step 4. In the recording toolbar, toggle on video (camera icon) and audio (speaker icon) in the dropdown options.

• Select Blur Background in the camera options menu to avoid any background distractions for your audience.
• To make a video from PPT with audio only, toggle the camera (video button) off.

Step 5. Click on the red record button in the top right corner. A three-second countdown timer will appear. When it ends, the recording starts.

Step 6. During the recording session, you can use pause and resume buttons to manage narration and navigation.

Step 7. Click the red button again to stop recording. You can preview the records.

Step 8. If you want to re-record your narration, click the Clear recording button (trash can icon) left to the red record button to delete the existing capture. Then, start recording again.

Step 9. After pressing Esc or clicking End show to exit the Record Slide Show experience, you will see the narration (audio/video) applied to the slides, as well as the appropriate slide timing and inking animations.

Step 10. Go to File > Export to export your presentation as a video. Select a video format you need (MP4 or MOV).

Record Keynote Presentation with the Built-in Recording Feature

Keynote is part of the iWork productivity suite developed by Apple Inc. for presentations on Mac, iPad, and iPhone. It is embedded with an integrated recording feature to help record a PowerPoint presentation on Mac.

However, this feature records PPT with audio only. If you only need to record a presentation on Keynote without showing your face, you can use it to perform a smooth recording.

Let's see how to record a presentation with voiceover narration on macOS devices with Keynote.

Step 1. Open the presentation in Keynote. Click Document in the upper right corner.

Step 2. Go to the Audio tab and click Record….

Step 3. This will launch a new, full-screen window. Click the red recording button. The timer counts down from 3 before the recording starts. You can use the right or left arrow key to go to the next or previous slide.

Step 4. Click the red button again to stop recording. You can click the play button to preview the recording.

• To re-record from a specific location: Drag the playback slider at the bottom of the screen to the location where you want to start recording, then click the red recording button. Select Record in the pop-up menu to start recording.
• Delete the entire recording: Click the trash can icon at the bottom right corner of the screen and then select Clear.

Step 5. Press the Esc key to exit the presenter's display.

Step 6. To export the Keynote presentation, go to File > Export To. Select a file format and click save. Type a filename, choose a location, and click Export.

Free Countdown Timer for Windows

Most available timer software is made for Windows only. Stagetimer can be used on any Mac, iPhone, iPad, or Windows device, and it doesn’t require a download - it simply runs in the browser. You can use it with any operating system and any browser, and you can share timers with others via a link or QR code. The web version of Stagetimer requires a stable internet connection, but an offline version for Mac and Windows is also available. It can be used offline and on local networks without internet access.

How to use stagetimer.io

Go to stagetimer.io and click on “create a timer”. It will create a new timer for you and will then redirect you to the controller page. From here it’s very easy to set the duration and start the countdown.

On the controller page, simply copy and share a link with other staff to control and customize the timer. You can also share a viewer link that will give speakers access to a full-screen version of the timer.

Timers and messages can be set and controlled from any device that’s connected to the internet. Stagetimer works best with updated browsers and operating systems. Check out the minimum system requirements . Timers adjust to different screen sizes. When using time of day, the clock automatically adopts the timezone and time format preferences of the browser.

You can create up to three timers and messages for free. Upgrade to a Pro subscription to have access to unlimited rooms, password-protected links, custom logo and background and more. This enables you to create a complete rundown for shows.

This version allows you to use the timer even when you don’t have an internet connection, making it perfect for use at events or in situations where internet access is limited. To get the offline version, simply navigate to the Download Page . From there, you can download the offline version for your specific operating system. The offline version includes all of the same features as the online version, including the ability to create and customize multiple timers, control the timer remotely, and share the timer with others via a link or QR code.

Benefits of the Offline Version: Free and Pro Features Available

The same is true for a Premium subscription, which includes even more advanced features and allows you to connect more devices to each room. See the pricing page .
