PowerPoint Timer — Best Countdown & Slide Timer Add-In for Presentations (2025)
If you’re looking for a fast, reliable PowerPoint timer that works perfectly in Slide Show mode, UbiTimer gives you a clean on-screen countdown, stopwatch, and global timer that keeps every presentation running smoothly. Whether you need a 5-minute timer, a 10-minute timer, or a fully customised countdown for your lesson or meeting, this is the easiest and most accurate timer add-in for PowerPoint.
Why You Need a Countdown Timer in PowerPoint
PowerPoint doesn’t include a built-in countdown timer, stopwatch, or timekeeper—making it difficult to stay on track during training sessions, lessons, pitches, webinars, and classroom activities. UbiTimer fills that gap with a professional-grade slide timer for PowerPoint that works on Windows, Mac, and Office 365.
Use it to:
- Keep lessons structured and timed
- Run Q&A sessions with a clear on-screen countdown
- Time group activities, workshops, and icebreakers
- Present confidently without overrunning
- Display a clear countdown during exams, quizzes, or tests
