Toastmasters Timer – Best Timer Tool in Zoom
This two-minute demo shows the Toastmasters Timer running inside a Zoom meeting. Press Start and your Zoom background turns green, yellow and red on its own, right on your video, so every participant sees the signal while you listen to the speech.
What You'll See in This Demo
- Green / Yellow / Red timing signals — automatic color changes that tell the speaker exactly where they stand in their allotted time.
- Timing rules that load themselves — pick the speaker and their role, and the rules load automatically. Every rule can be changed, and you can add your own roles.
- Next speaker, one click — press Finish and the next speaker is ready.
- Bigger signals — put the color behind you, replace your video with it, or go full screen and share it.
- Agenda import — paste your agenda straight from EasySpeak. Speakers and roles are picked up for you, and you can drag to reorder.
- Automatic report — when the meeting ends, your timing report is already written.
- Club card artwork (Pro) — use your club's own card artwork.
