stagetimer is a Windows program that provides professional stage timer tools for live events, broadcasts, conferences and virtual meetings.
Countdown
Once installed, users are able to create multiple countdown timers assigned to individual speakers or segments. Each clock comes with customization options. It is possible to set the duration, labels and warning cues.
The app features remote control via a web interface accessible from any connected device. Stage managers or producers can start, pause, reset or edit timers from smartphones, tablets or other PCs. To help speakers track minutes non-verbally, there are visual indicators that change colors as time progresses. These signals are convenient for giving a clear warning without needing audio cues or interruptions.
Messages
There is an option to send real-time messages to speakers through the timer screen interface. Announcements appear discreetly on the presenter’s display and can include stage directions, reminders or alerts. To put it another way, you improve coordination without interfering with the presentation or requiring physical interventions.
However, it is important to mention that some of these features are not available in a free version of the utility. You may check detailed information about subscription plans on the official website.
