What is Slides Timer?

Slides Timer is an innovative Chrome extension designed for adding timers to slide presentations. It allows you to insert a timer and pause or reset it as required. Available timer formats are extremely user-friendly, including count-ups, count-downs, current time without seconds/am/pm, numeric or word formats for date, etc. The extensions also support specific actions when a countdown is finished, such as moving to the next slide, triggering inserted audio or video. The Slides Timer extension does not handle user data, ensuring your presentations remain private and secure.

Unfortunately I have to uninstall the extension because it is interfering with the ability to use captions with my microphone and meeting the needs of needs of my hearing challenged students beats out having a timer. For those that are trying to get the $ to work, use it like this: : <<15:00-$@>> This timer worked with counting down, not starting until I used the d/e trigger keys and playing a sound at the end of the timer. Its a shame it conflicts with microphone use.

Hi, I just added this, and I love it!! I would love to have a gentle audio alarm when the time remaining runs out. Also, I would like to be able to exclude seeing the seconds on Time Elapsed and Current Time of Day because seeing seconds tick by when I'm trying to work on something creates a great deal of anxiety that I don't usually otherwise feel. BTW, this is also extremely helpful because Alice Keeler's companion https://workspace.google.com/marketplace/app/slides_timer_addon/420799124011 is not permitted by my organization for some reason. Thank you so very much for making this extension in such a way that my employer does not block it! :D
