Step 1: Create Your Timer

First things first, create your timer with Stagetimer—it’s free! After you’ve set up your timer, head over to “Links” on the controller page. From there, copy the link under the viewer tab. Share this link with anyone you’d like to see the timer. Don’t worry, they’ll only be able to view, not edit, your timer.

Step 2: Configure Your Timer

When you generate a room with Stagetimer, you have several options to configure the timer. Click on the gear icon on your timer to open a popup with all available options. Here, you can add a title, speaker name, and notes.

In the second section of the popup, you can set your timer’s specifics. On the right, set a duration or an end time, and pick your timer’s appearance (countdown, count-up, clock, etc.).

On the left, choose between manually triggering your timer (press play to start) or scheduling it to start at a specific time. For the latter, switch the trigger to “Scheduled”.

In the bottom section of the popup, set wrap-up times and actions, including alerts and chimes.

Step 3: Customize Your Timer

Now for the fun part—customizing your fullscreen timer. Click “Customize” to see all available options. You can add a logo, change the background image, switch up the font, and even alter the color scheme. To unlock these features, you’ll need a Premium license or subscription. Curious about Premium?
