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 the timer, and share it with other meeting participants. Participants can interact with the timer to start, pause, and add more time.
Add the Shared Timer
Webex users can add the Shared Timer app via Webex App Hub.
