Share the timer online
With CueTimer you control a webpage that displays both the current countdown and future schedule. Share this page with remote speakers, crew members and production staff to ensure everyone stays on the same page and in sync
An online presentation-timer for any device
The webpage features a versatile countdown/countup/clock timer that displays in sync with the HDMI-fullscreen and NDI outputs. It is designed to be fully responsive, adapting to all screen sizes and orientations, including cell phones, tablets, and desktops.
From the page you can toggle between two views:
- Counter-view displays the current timer, name, and message
- Schedule-view also includes a list of upcoming timers.
Let your remote speakers stay on time
The online presentation timer is an ideal tool for remote presenters on Zoom and Teams.
Presenters can keep track of the program agenda before they are called to speak, and switch to the counter-page when it’s time to go live. The clean and focused interface eliminates distractions, allowing presenters to concentrate solely on their presentation
Reliable timekeeping with servers from Amazon AWS
Our online time-management solution can be trusted for the most prestigious events: Since the launch in October 2021, there has been no reported incidents on server-downtime or webpages from CueTimer not working.
At PresentationTools, we believe in providing our customers with the best possible experience. That’s why we adopt the practice of overprovisioning in our infrastructure. By using more resources than what is required to handle the expected workload of our application, we can ensure that it remains highly available and reliable even during unexpected spikes in demand or potential failures. This extra cushion ensures that our customers can rely on our service 24/7
Embed and whitelabel the timer
You can embed the online timer-page from CueTimer.net into other webpages by using HTML Iframe method. This allows you to whitelabel our webpage into your own domain, and add other elements to it. And, by setting a transparent background from CueTimer, you can use your own colors and images behind the text and numbers, blending in with your own branding.

After you have installed and opened CueTimer, display a webpage with the timer and schedule following these steps:
1. Create the webpage
