On-time, on-schedule with Zoom’s timer app
The Zoom Timer app is a countdown tool for keeping meetings and time-based tasks on track. Together with the app’s stopwatch, these features can encourage on-time meeting arrivals, make sure meetings don’t go over the scheduled meeting times, and even keep attendees on-track during in-meeting group meditation sessions.
The app displays a countdown in the upper right of the meeting screen, using a circular black and neon green animation. Set it to a timer or stopwatch, depending on your meeting needs.
Prerequisites for use include:
- A Zoom account
- The Zoom desktop client for Mac or Windows, versions 5.7.3 or higher
How to install from the App Marketplace:
The Timer app is included with the Zoom desktop client and displayed in the Zoom Apps list.
To manually install the app:
- Log in to the Zoom desktop client. On the Zoom Home screen, select Apps in the upper right, or the ellipsis in the upper right and Apps should be visible.
- In the Apps search field enter Timer and then select the ‘Timer’ app icon.
- To install choose Allow. Once installed, the app appears under the Apps section of the Zoom desktop client.
Once installed, Timer can be started from within a meeting by selecting the Apps option on the meeting controls panel.
