Best PowerPoint Timer Add-in for Presentations & Events (2026)

Professional timing for live presentations, conferences, and events — directly in PowerPoint.

Running live presentations or events with PowerPoint puts timing under pressure. Sessions overrun, speakers lose track, and organisers are forced to interrupt.

A professional PowerPoint timer add-in makes time visible, controlled, and reliable — without disrupting the presentation.

UbiTimer is designed for presentations, conferences, events, panels, and formal sessions where timing accuracy and presentation quality matter.

Why the best PowerPoint timer add-in is better than built-in timers

• Slide timers reset when slides change
• Animations desynchronise in Slide Show mode
• Timings are not clearly visible to presenters or audiences
• Adjusting time mid-presentation is awkward or disruptive
• External timers break presentation flow

For professional events, these limitations quickly become operational problems.

What a professional PowerPoint timer add-in for presentations needs

• Consistent timing across multiple slides
• Clear visibility without distracting from content
• Pause, resume, and adjustment controls
• Offline operation for venues with limited connectivity
• Clean integration with professional slide designs
• Reliable performance on Windows and macOS

UbiTimer was built to meet these real-world presentation requirements.
