Countdown Timer

Keep your sessions on track with visible countdowns

MeetingTok's built-in Countdown Timer keeps speakers, sessions, and activities on schedule. Display a clean, visible countdown on the main screen. Configure multiple timers with reminder alerts.

Why Use a Countdown Timer in Meetings?

Countdown timers create urgency, improve time management, and keep sessions on schedule. They're essential for conference speaker sessions, workshop activities, quizzes, and breaks. A visible countdown helps attendees manage their time and signals transitions without verbal announcements. MeetingTok's Countdown Timer displays prominently on the main screen for everyone to see.

Best Countdown Timer for Meetings

The best meeting countdown timer should offer: configurable durations, visible display on the main screen, reminder alerts at set intervals, and the ability to run multiple timers. MeetingTok provides all of this in a free plan. Most audience engagement platforms (Slido, Mentimeter, AhaSlides, Vevox) don't offer a standalone countdown timer tool.

Use Cases for a Presentation Timer

Conference sessions — keep speakers within their allocated time. Workshops — time breakout activities and exercises. Quizzes — create time pressure for competitive events. Breaks — show exactly when the session resumes. Team meetings — keep standups and check-ins fast and focused.

How to Use MeetingTok's Countdown Timer

Open the Countdown Timer feature in your MeetingTok room. Set the desired duration (in minutes/seconds). The timer displays prominently on the main screen. Configure optional reminder alerts (e.g., "5 minutes remaining"). Start, pause, or reset as needed throughout your event.
