If you want to use a timer during your presentation, whether it be to give your audience time for a coffee break, to have a countdown indicating when your presentation will start, or a timer for breakout rooms, we have two ways to add a timer to your slides.
Add a quick timer to count down until voting closes on your question slides
If you want to give your audience a defined period of time to finish voting on your slide, you can make use of our keyboard shortcuts to add a countdown instantly to your currently active slide. When the countdown finishes, voting will automatically close on the slide you are presenting. You must be presenting in order to start a countdown.
They keyboard shortcuts for each period of time are:
1: 1 minute countdown
2: 2 minute countdown
3: 3 minute countdown
4: 4 minute countdown
5: 5 minute countdown
8: 30 seconds countdown
9: 10 seconds countdown
0: cancel countdown
You can also mix and match them to get the specific time period to your liking. For instance, if you need a countdown of 40 seconds, you can press '8' and then '9' to get a total combining both options.
Pro Tip: If you ever need to remind yourself of the keyboard shortcuts, you can press the 'k' key during your presentation at any time to see all the available keyboard shortcuts.
