How to use a 10-minute timer in PowerPoint
This page is great for a quick countdown on your screen. But a browser tab cannot stay on top of a full-screen Slide Show. For that, use the free overlay app:
- Download SlideTimerApp. Open the free portable Windows app.
- Tap the 10-minute preset. Or type any minutes and seconds.
- Pin it on top and present. Press F5 — the 10-minute countdown floats over your slides and rings at zero.
