Introduction

The TimerHub Meeting Timer keeps presentations, standups and panel discussions on schedule without making anyone feel rushed. It counts down your allotted time with a quiet ring and a calm 5-minute and 1-minute warning, then ends with a clear but composed completion message — never a jarring alarm. It's built to run on a laptop beside you, or fullscreen on a shared display for the whole room to see.

How to Use

Choose a preset — 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45 or 60 minutes — or set an exact hours-and-minutes duration for your session. Tap Start Meeting and the ring and digits begin counting down. If a discussion runs long, use +1 min or +5 min to extend on the fly without resetting anything. Tap the fullscreen icon to project a large, clean display for the room — ideal for keeping a speaker aware of their remaining time without a facilitator having to interrupt.

Features

  • Hours-and-minutes duration picker plus one-tap presets from 5 to 60 minutes
  • A calm 5-minute warning and a slightly more insistent, still-composed 1-minute warning — no alarms, just a clear color and gentle pulse
  • Instant +1 minute and +5 minute controls for running discussions over
  • A professional, non-alarming completion message rather than a jarring bell
  • Fullscreen mode designed for projectors and shared displays
  • Drift-free countdown that stays accurate even if the browser tab is backgrounded

Use Cases

Daily standups: keep a 10-15 minute stand-up tight and on topic. All-hands presentations: give speakers a visible countdown so sessions finish on schedule. Conference talks: project the fullscreen view where the speaker can glance at it without a moderator holding up cards. Panel discussions: allocate even time per segment and extend live with +1/+5 minute controls. Classroom lessons: time an activity or lecture block and use the warnings to cue a wrap-up. Timed Q&A: keep question-and-answer segments fair and moving.

Tips

  • Project the fullscreen view for speakers so they can self-pace without needing a hand signal from the back of the room.
  • Use the 5-minute warning as your cue to start wrapping up your closing point, not to panic — it's designed to feel like a nudge, not an alert.
  • Keep the +1/+5 minute buttons in reach during Q&A — it's faster than resetting the whole timer.
  • Turn sound on so the warning tones are audible even if presenters aren't looking at the screen.
