A presentation timer your speaker can actually see
Give your presenter a clear, colour-staged countdown they can glance at without breaking eye contact with the room — and let the audience ask questions without a live mic.

Can you go deeper on the pricing model?
What's the rollout timeline?
A good presentation timer should be invisible to the audience and unmissable to the speaker. That matters whether it's a single sales pitch, a thesis defence, a webinar, or a TED-style talk rehearsal — asktimer.com's confidence monitor shows remaining time clearly, shifting colour as time runs low, while your host manages the countdown from a separate control view. Audience Q&A runs alongside it, so questions get captured even when there isn't time to open the floor.

A countdown timer for presentations helps you keep eye contact with the room instead of checking your phone
Glancing down at a phone to check the time breaks eye contact with the room. A confidence monitor propped in your eyeline solves this without a stage manager waving from the wings.
Frequently asked questions
How do I time a presentation without holding a stopwatch?
Give your presenter a confidence monitor link they glance at on their own phone or laptop — remaining time, colour-staged as it runs low — while you or a colleague controls the countdown separately.
What's a good countdown timer for practicing a talk?
asktimer.com's speaker view works the same for a live audience or a solo rehearsal — start the timer, watch the colour stages, and get a feel for pacing before the real thing.
How do I collect audience questions during a presentation without opening the floor?
Attendees submit questions from their phone throughout the talk and upvote the ones they most want answered, so you can address the top questions afterward even without live Q&A time.
Can I adjust the presenter's time mid-talk?
Yes — hosts can nudge time up or down live if the schedule shifts, without the presenter losing their place.
