With more organizations supporting remote work and remote learning, more people than ever before are using Zoom meetings and webinars to get things done. But time can really get away from us during all these calls! That’s why BlueSky Apps has made a simple, easy, and effective timer for Zoom.
We all have tight schedules to keep, and once one meeting runs over, it can negatively affect the rest of your day. When you have a lot of ground to cover in one Zoom call, it’s important to stay focused during the time you have. Don’t make your afternoon meetings rushed because your morning meetings got off track!
Maybe some folks are taking up more than their fair share of time. If you want to hear from everyone, but only have a limited time frame, it can be hard to stay on track during your Zoom meeting. Ideally, everyone would get their turn to speak, but it can be easy to get derailed and off topic if one person hogs all the meeting time.
Running an all-day event, exam, or conference? If your event involves a timed component, you need a countdown timer inside Zoom. Your participants need to stay focused on the task at hand, not constantly glancing at their phone or refreshing a web browser page. Wouldn’t it be helpful if they could watch a Zoom countdown timer inside the meeting?
Some organizations resort to using a dedicated time keeper in a meeting, but this prevents that person from fully engaging in the meeting itself. Why waste someone’s valuable potential when technology can make it easy?
We all have stopwatches on our phones. Or we can try to keep an eye on a clock. But this distracts our attention away from the meeting itself. And how can you share your phone countdown with everyone in the meeting? Sure, maybe you can keep yourself on time with your watch, but how is that going to keep everyone on track, especially if one participant won’t give up the floor?
You could try to screen share an online stopwatch with the meeting, but then you are left out of your own meeting!
Worst of all, these makeshift timekeeping efforts are increasingly being seen as unprofessional. You need a solution that puts a timer in Zoom.
The popular Zoom timer app joins your meeting or webinar like an extra participant, so the timer is highly visible to everyone. Rather than keeping your clock or timer siloed in separate apps, this in-Zoom timer helps streamline your meetings. The BlueSky Timer will be easy to see in Gallery View, as a Screen Share, or as a Webinar Panelist. You and all your Zoom attendees will be able to clearly and quickly know how much time is left. No more losing track of time with the best Zoom meeting timer available!
Need a countdown timer for Zoom? Or perhaps need a countup timer that counts up to a particular time?Or maybe instead you need it to just track how much time has elapsed? You can customize our timer in Zoom to count down or count up. And you can set "warning" times and audio alerts to keep speakers on track. Based on your custom settings, your participants will see a yellow timer background as a warning or a red timer background when the time is up. This really helps keep people on track! Pro and Enterprise accounts can even add custom branding to the default image that displays between timers.
If you need some extra help to keep your meetings on track, try using our sound alert feature! When your custom Zoom timer hits the warning and alert times, you can enable audio reminders. You can choose from a variety of sounds, from a gentle bell to a strong ring. This is a great option for competitions, testing, or just to keep your meetings moving along. If you’re looking for sound alerts inside your Zoom meeting, look no further than the BlueSky Timer.
You can turn this helpful feature on with the click of a button! With Auto Join, the BlueSky Timer will be invited to every Zoom meeting you host. You can also invite the timer into any meeting you choose, with or without the Auto Join setting. The choice is yours, and the BlueSky Timer makes it easy. Just grab the meeting invite link and input that into the BlueSky website.
BlueSky Timers are built with security as a top priority, and they do not transmit or save meeting audio, video, or chat, even to our servers. The timer app can also use passcodes, passwords, and enter waiting rooms for extra security steps.
We are dedicated to making things easy and simple for you. Whether you have a question about how the app works, how it would be best suited for your needs, or what subscription plans we offer, feel free to reach out at any time!
