How to Use the Timer During a Presentation
Before you start
Set your target timing and test the display, especially if you are screen sharing in an online meeting.
When it turns yellow
Move into your final point, summary, demo close, or transition to questions.
When it turns red
Use your backup closing line and finish. Going past red usually means the next agenda item loses time.
Presentation Rehearsal Checklist
- Run one rehearsal with slides and speaker notes, not just the script.
- Mark the slide or story that should happen when the timer turns green.
- Decide what you will cut if the timer turns yellow before your final section.
- Practice the closing sentence until it fits comfortably before red.
- Leave a buffer if your presentation includes demos, polls, or audience questions.
- For online meetings, test screen sharing before the real session starts.
