60-Minute Timer (1 Hour)
A big sixty-minute countdown for one-hour exams, workshops and webinars.
The short answer: press Start for a 60-minute countdown with an alarm at zero. To put a 60-minute timer on top of your PowerPoint while you present, download SlideTimerApp and tap the 60-minute preset — it floats over your live Slide Show instead of living in a browser tab.
What a 60-minute timer is good for
- One-hour exams and assessments
- Workshops, trainings and webinars
- Hackathon and competition rounds
- Focused study or deep-work blocks
Timing a one-hour session
Over an hour it is easy to lose track of time, and attendees in a long workshop or exam want to know how much is left without asking. Leave the countdown on screen for the whole session: the digits change colour as the end approaches, and the alarm marks the hour. For webinars, share your screen and the floating timer goes out with your slides.
How to use a 60-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 60-minute preset. Or type any minutes and seconds.
- Pin it on top and present. Press F5 — the 60-minute countdown floats over your slides and rings at zero.
