Do you use a countdown timer for your class?

[janetsketchley]

Thank you for this! I couldn't find the free countdown timer either but I clicked to create a video and then went to templates and searched "countdown timer minutes." One of the first free ones that popped up was called "webinar countdown timer." There's another one called "Blue Modern Webinar Countdown Timer." If you take either of those and edit out the bits you don't want, you have the 10 minute timer. It's against a black band, so if you like you can even delete that and just have it in the black box. I had trouble reducing the length to what I wanted, because the interface looks different. Got it eventually! Again, thank you!

This is great stuff. I was trying to figure out how to put a timer into my workout video’s

I’m trying to find the 10 minute timer you used in your example. It seems like I can only find up to 60seconds in my library. I do have the pro account. I wonder if they’ve removed that one. That would be perfect for my presentations.

You are an AWESOME presenter. Thank you.

Great video! Thank you for sharing! I'm up preparing for Zoom meeting today. I'm going to add this feature to my presentations. I'm your neighbor! (MVC)

[SandTHelp]

Thanks for sharing. I was wondering where these random YouTube timers were coming from.

[APRENDERCONMIGO]

Can I make a timer in canva and add it to Google slides?

To find the timers, try searching under the DESIGN tab on the top left (and then Templates).
If you search for them under the Elements tab, they don't seem to show up.

This could change of course.

[bjsheffield-godlyfocusedhearts]

Hello, I cannot find the counter you used. Can you somehow share the name of it? When I followed your steps I couldn't find it. Thank you!

[kerrysymons-wardlaw]

I can only find timers with a max of 1 minute. Does anyone have any advice for me?

[pscwinner]

[GCSESahr]

[CaballeroNegroC]

You didn't help me for a larger timer

[newone.church]

I cannot see that 10 minute timer as an option
