PowerPoint timers for trainers, workshops and CPD sessions
PowerPoint timer for trainers is what UbiTimer is built for: adding countdowns, break timers and presentation timers directly inside Microsoft PowerPoint, so timed activities, speaker slots and session transitions stay on track.
Runs inside supported PowerPoint environments. No browser timer or separate screen needed for everyday timing.
A PowerPoint Timer for Trainers, Workshops and CPD
Whether you run staff training, CPD, professional workshops, online sessions or conference-style presentations, UbiTimer helps make timing visible and easy to manage from within PowerPoint.
Workshops
Keep group activities, discussions and timed tasks visible to everyone without switching away from your slides.
CPD and staff training
Add timers to your CPD slides for activities, reflection tasks, breaks and structured training segments.
Presentations and events
Use visible countdowns for speaker timing, transitions, Q&A, breaks and session pacing.
Timed group tasks
Give participants a clear countdown for pair work, group discussion, planning activities and feedback tasks.
Breaks and transitions
Show a timer for comfort breaks, session changes, table moves or return-to-room countdowns.
Presenter confidence
Keep yourself and your audience aware of time without relying on a separate browser timer or phone.
Keep sessions on schedule without leaving PowerPoint
Many trainers already build their sessions in PowerPoint. UbiTimer keeps the timer in the same place as your training content, so you can run timed activities without opening a separate timer app, browser tab or external tool.
