Start a free speaker timer with a private control link, display link, queued sessions, and speaker cue messages.
Why a dedicated speaker timer beats a phone stopwatch
A speaker timer gives presenters a large, readable countdown they can glance at from the stage, while the operator keeps every adjustment on a separate control link. A phone stopwatch on the lectern is easy to miss and impossible to manage from the back of the room. With Questro running in the browser, the operator opens a display link on a confidence monitor or laptop and drives the clock from another device. Speakers never see buttons, only the time remaining, so they stay focused on the talk instead of watching a tiny screen or guessing how long they have left.
Adjusting time without interrupting the talk
Talks rarely run exactly to plan. With the control link, an operator can add or remove a minute, pause during applause or a demo, or reset for the next speaker without walking on stage. Short cue messages such as wrap up or time is up appear on the speaker display so a moderator does not have to interrupt out loud. Because each session can be queued in advance, a back-to-back agenda of talks, trainings, and workshop blocks runs from one control page, and the room stays on schedule even when individual sessions shift.

Common questions
Can speakers see the control buttons?
No. Speakers use the display link, while operators keep the private control link.
Is the speaker timer free?
Yes. You can start a temporary timer without an account. Paid plans add persistent events and more guest control options.
Can I send messages to the speaker?
Yes. The operator can push short cue messages such as wrap up or time is up to the speaker display, so a moderator does not have to interrupt the talk out loud.
Does the speaker timer work for back-to-back sessions?
Yes. You can queue multiple talks or workshop blocks in advance and move through them from one control page, so the next speaker timer is ready without rebuilding it live.
