Shared Timer app for Webex Meetings and Webex Webinars
The Shared Timer app helps hosts and participants stick to a schedule with a visual countdown during a meeting or webinar. Users can open the app from the Apps panel, set multiple timers, and share it with other meeting participants. Participants can interact with existing timers and they can add their own.
Add the Shared Timer
Webex users can add the Shared Timer app via Webex App Hub.
Embedded Apps must be turned on by your administrator. For more information, read more on Embedded apps in Webex.
