Timers
Classroom Timers
Quick timer presets for classroom activities.
How to use the classroom timers
- Check the preset time or enter minutes and seconds.
- Press Start (or the Space key). Pause and Reset any time.
- A sound plays when time is up; turn on ticking in Settings if you like.
Teachers can launch common activity lengths with one click and project the ring on a screen.
Tips
A visible countdown helps people pace a task better than a hidden one. Keep the sound on and the tab open when you step away. For classroom use, project the timer in fullscreen so every student can see it.
Frequently asked questions
Does the timer stay accurate in a background tab?
Yes. It measures real elapsed time from timestamps instead of counting ticks, so throttled tabs stay correct.
