If you are aware of situations that would benefit from a specialist timer, please let us know, and we will look into creating it.
Timepiece frames for use with the dial timers
The following images can be used to customise the dial timers to suit your style. Simply right click them, and select either 'copy image' or 'save image as ...' . Then use PowerPoint to overlay it over the dial timer and group the result so you can use it as part of your session.
Where can you use this Timer?
As web window
Simply drag into position and resize- Use on any shared screen to sit on top of slides, video, web pages, people speaking, documents. Or with anything else you share via a screen in meeting software
- You can also share directly as a window in meeting software
- Or ask people to load it up themselves (from the link) to keep to time in breakouts
- Outside of meetings, use it as a personal time manager for particular task allocations
As a downloaded GIF
Simply right-click the timer image and select ‘copy image’ or ‘save image as …’ as appropriate. These copied images you can paste directly into some applications, and they work immediately. Other applications sometimes work better if you save the image. And then upload it via the application’s own image import facility.- Use it within Powerpoint or Google slides as a timer for slide guided activities, or for quizzes
- Paste it into Microsoft Whiteboard as a means of timebounding activity - simply click to stop and restart
- Insert it into a webpage, to control an activity
- Add it as a source in OBS in your webcam to help people keep to time
- Use it with PowerPoint and OBS as a drone breakout participant in Zoom and Teams
- Load it into Jamboard for different pages. This can be done via the image button. And the page needs to be refreshed for it to work. But if the deck is refreshed the timers start as you click to the next slide
- Upload it as a cover image to Trello - possibly as the top item on a list. The timer restarts when you refresh the board (so simply refresh it each time you start on the next list)
- Use it in Excel or Word (via Insert Picture) as part of a quiz or form - re-starts on click
- Add it to an email or to a meeting invite (via Insert Picture). It will start when someone opens the email / invite (they can restart it with the play button). Useful as a breakout resource with the timer and instructions easily accessible
