Presentation Timer
Run a live presentation countdown for the duration you enter.
How to use Presentation Timer
1. Enter Presentation Duration. 2. Plain numbers mean minutes; labelled d, h, min and sec are accepted. Durations are non-negative and a duration day means 24 hours. Static answers round to seconds, with nonzero subsecond values labelled. No holiday calendar or daylight-saving adjustment is applied. The browser runs the timer while the page remains open. Background throttling, sleeping devices and blocked sound can delay visible updates or alerts. Use Pause/Resume where shown and Reset to stop/clear it; this is not a guaranteed alarm or safety clock. 3. Select Start to start the displayed timer. Use its Pause/Resume controls where shown; Reset stops and clears it.
