Meeting Timer Overlay

INTERACTIVE EXAMPLE · NO INSTALLATION

What happens when
one topic runs over?

Try five agenda sections: different speakers, different topics, or a mix. Finish early or run late, then see the time left for the next section.

This is a simulation of the extension’s timing rule. It does not connect to Google Slides. The example clock advances only when you click; the installed extension follows your slides and uses the real clock.

    The rule you are trying

    next allocation = max(0, meeting end − now) ÷ sections left

    At the start: 22 ÷ 5 = 4:24 each. If Topic 1 finishes after two minutes, Topic 2 starts with 20 ÷ 4 = 5:00. If Topic 1 takes seven minutes, Topic 2 starts with 15 ÷ 4 = 3:45. The remaining sections’ shares are recalculated when they start. The same rule applies when sections are speakers.

    This shares the remaining budget. It does not guarantee equal total airtime or stop a speaker or discussion. Going back with the manual control recalculates from the time left now.

    Use it with your own slides

    The free Chrome extension adds the timer and section queue to your audience-facing Google Slides presentation. Mark the first slide of each speaker or topic section. Use a marked slide or the manual next-section control to move the agenda forward.
