At a time when virtual meetings take up a significant amount of our workday, we’ve all experienced overrunning meetings and times when items on the agenda are rushed or missed. This in turn affects productivity at a team and individual level.
The all-new Shared Timer embedded app solves exactly this.
Shared Timer helps people better manage time in Webex Meetings and Webex Webinars. Simply set a time, share it with other meeting participants, and use it to work on a task, to time-box discussions or take a break together.
Key Features:
- Single or multi-player: Meeting hosts can control the timer or share control with participants
- Free-form time input: Allows the user to enter custom MM:SS
- Quick add time: Easily add +1, +5, +10, or +15 minutes to the outstanding time
- Countdown sounds: 5 second countdown and a finished chime (with ability to mute)

This has been a very welcome tool for keeping our engineering standups to the allotted 15 minute meeting time!
One small annoyance (on macOS specifically) is that when the Shared Timer app plays an audio cue, it leaves a menu bar icon until the WebEx application is quit. I've included a screenshot here. The workaround for us has been to disable audio cues in our meeting.
