PowerPoint timing for departments, schools and institutions
PowerPoint Timer for Schools — Classroom & Team Licensing
UbiTimer gives teachers a PowerPoint timer for schools that works inside the presentations they already use for lessons, activities, assemblies, training and other timed sessions.
Individual teachers can start with Classroom Free. Departments, schools and organisations that need access for multiple users can explore UbiTimer Team / School licensing options.
UbiTimer is designed for supported Microsoft PowerPoint environments on Windows and Mac. Exact availability can depend on PowerPoint, Microsoft 365 and organisation settings.
PowerPoint Timing Across a School or Department
Many schools already use PowerPoint for lesson delivery, staff training, assemblies and presentations. UbiTimer adds timing to that existing workflow instead of requiring teachers to open a separate timer website or application.
Classroom Teaching
Teachers can use countdown and count-up timers for starters, group work, quizzes, transitions and independent activities.
Departments & Schools
Schools that need UbiTimer for multiple teachers can use Team / School licensing rather than relying only on individual licences.
Training & Presentations
UbiTimer can also be used for CPD, assemblies, staff meetings, presentations and other timed sessions delivered in PowerPoint.
Need UbiTimer for More Than One Teacher?
Classroom Free is a straightforward way for an individual teacher to begin using UbiTimer. Schools and departments may need a wider licensing option when several staff members require access.
Individual Teachers
Start with Classroom Free for everyday countdown and count-up timing inside PowerPoint.
Individual users can also compare paid plans when they need more advanced timing features.
Departments, Schools & Organisations
Team / School options are intended for situations where multiple users need UbiTimer access within the same department, school or organisation.
Where Schools Can Use PowerPoint Timers
The same timer workflow can be useful in different parts of a school, from everyday lessons to staff presentations and larger events.
Lesson Activities
Add countdowns to starters, independent tasks, quizzes, revision and group activities.
Transitions
Use short timers when a class needs to prepare for the next activity or lesson section.
Student Presentations
Give individuals or groups a defined presentation duration.
Assemblies
Use PowerPoint timing for scheduled assembly items, speaker sections and presentation segments.
Staff Meetings
Time agenda items, presentations and discussion sections during PowerPoint-based meetings.

What School Leaders and IT Teams Should Know
Schools often have different Microsoft 365 policies, PowerPoint versions and add-in settings. Before wider adoption, it is sensible to confirm that UbiTimer works as expected in your organisation's PowerPoint environment.
PowerPoint Environment
UbiTimer is designed for supported Microsoft PowerPoint environments on Windows and Mac. Availability can depend on Microsoft 365 and organisation settings.
Start Small if Needed
Individual teachers can begin with Classroom Free before a department or school decides whether wider access is appropriate.
