Hi, I’m looking forward to the Mac version. Any chance of having the option of displaying with the surrounding circle around the time remaining – like the Nano version? Love the visual look – great for those who struggle with visualising how much time is left.
Thanks
Hi Tony, this timer doesnt offer that. Yes, you need to use Nano timer for the extra visuals. Best
how do you insert the timer into a powerpoint presentation? I don’t want it to “float” on top of my presentation since i have to upload my presentation to the presenters computer.
Hi Beth,
we dont have such a timer as it would be limited to only one slide.
Best
Looks like a nice, usefull timer, will definitely give it a try.
Great, thank you!
Doesn’t float above powerpoint show in slideshow mode.
Yes.
Hi, i’m looking for a timer anable to run alone when i open a powerpoint file. may be PowerPoint Timer is the solution for me ?
Hi Jean, best to try it out. It´s free.
Hello, I’m SO excited to try your timer with my slides in my high school classroom. It’s going to be key to keeping all my students focused and on-task. Unfortunately, it says I cannot use it on my OS 10.10.5. It says it requires 10.12 or higher. But your website says it works on 10.10. Where are the older versions located?
Hi Nicole. Not sure why it doesnt work on your OS, might be some other issue. There are no older versions of this timer.
Can you put a non .exe version? with all the viruses going around, this makes us worried.
Hi Paul, it needs to be an .exe as it is a program file. The program is safe, but you need to get it from our page.
Hi
I downloaded the Pro version of Slideshow Timer.
It works fine and floats over all the stuff on my desktop and running apps, but when I hit play on a Keynote presentation it disappears. I need to to show up onscreen over the presentation.
Hi David, the program doesnt work with Keynote.
Thank you very much, it is very useful for me.
very good one, BR
This is amazing, thank you!!
Hi, I am trying to install the free version of Powerpoint Timer, which is not working properly. The internet browser said that the computer does not have problems but the source(https://bit.ly/SlideshowTimerPCv114) does not respond.
Hi there, not sure what could be the problem. Try opening and downloading with another browser. The download and the program are working fine.
This is amazing & free! I have been searching for something like that for some time now.
Thank you!!
is it copyright free?? i mean can i use it for youtube videos
Hi, no, it is not copyright free.
Hello, I love the Floating options. How do you do that in power point. I love what the Dynamic Timer has down in thier work. I am looking for something where I can preprogram for specific times and dates in the past and future.
Where I can stop it on demand and it floats on the slides. I can also display to clocks at once. Who made you program. I would love to have mine made with sound effects. It’s for a history project.
Hi there, this is a simple timer, we are developing more advanced version, but it will be a different timer. And yes, you can display, run multiple timers at once.
Can this timer work just on 1 slide or 2 slides? I dont need it on every slide.
Sorry, cannot do that. However you can remove or hide the timer when not needed.
there must be option to resize the timer window and transparent background. it looks too odd timer covering a big portion/space on the slide show. audience keep noticing the timer more than presentation content. can you please add the said facility?
Hi there, resizing of the timer is possible (try it), however transparent background is not. Best
Hi — a good looking timer, but I need to insert it in a PPT slide and then take the presentation to another folder and application. So far, when trying to install the timer I select the Browse button to put it in an appropriate folder to transport the PPT presentation. However, your install process hangs up when I hit browse? Suggestions?
Second, how can I insert and start the time from within a PPT slide.
Thank you.
Hi there, the timer is a separate program from PPT so you cannot move it around – or start / stop, with presentation automatically. You can use the timer (on screen) where you need it, run the program and use it.
Timer for PowerPoint (SLIDESHOW TIMER)
i want to purchase the timer for windows. I have a doubt, if i format the window or change my laptop, do I need to purchase again or i can use it after formatting the window also.
Hi, you can use it again.
When I’m just presenting a ‘questionnaire pdf file’ alone, to my students during online exams; my students are not able to see this timer on the pdf file; even though I place the timer on the pdf file. Is there an option to pin this timer onto any files like pdf, word files etc… so that even if I present that particular pdf file or word file – the timer becomes visible to my kids??
Hi there, not sure which OS or program for presenting you are using?
Hi, is there an alarm sound on the completion of time ?
Hi, with free timer no.
Any chance of getting keyboard shortcuts for things like start/stop, set the time, exit app? Would be great for use with a StreamDeck and make it much more user friendly.
Hi, thank you for the comment. True, however this app does not allow this, only fullscreen timers do.
I am disappointed that the free version of this timer only allows for a 20 minute time limit. For it to be useful, there needs to be an option for a longer countdown.
Hi, thank you for the comment. There is more than 20 min, with the PRO version of the timer.
It’s awesome designed for me to have a web site, which is valuable in favor
of my know-how. thanks admin
