Ever felt like your online meetings are time-warping into eternity? Say hello to your new best friend: R-Link's Timer Widget. This powerful tool is about to revolutionize your meeting management and boost your team's productivity.

What is a Timer Widget?

A Timer Widget is a digital tool that helps track time during virtual meetings. R-Link's Timer Widget offers:

• Countdown and count-up functionality

• Customizable durations

• Visual alerts

• Easy integration with your R-Link meeting room

Setting Up Your Timer Widget: A Step-by-Step Guide

1. Access the Widget Menu

First things first, locate that Widget Icon in your meeting controls toolbar. It's like finding the secret button to your virtual Batcave.

2. Create a Widget Folder (Because Chaos is So Last Season)

1. Click "Add Folder" - think of it as creating a special drawer for your time-bending gadgets.

2. Name it something snazzy (keep it under 25 characters - we're going for punchy, not a novel title).

3. Add the Timer Widget

1. Click on your shiny new folder.

2. Hit "Add Widget" and select "Timer" - it's like choosing your secret weapon for meeting efficiency[2].

4. Customize Your Timer (Make It Your Own)

• Name Game: Give it a catchy title. "Boring Meeting Countdown" might be a bit too honest, though.

• Direction Dilemma: Choose between Count-Down or Count-Up. It's like deciding between a rocket launch or a marathon[3].

• Time Travel: Set your starting time. Remember, time is an illusion, but deadlines aren't!

5. Configure Status Alerts: Your Meeting's Traffic Lights

• Green Light (Good): Everything's peachy!

• Yellow Alert (Warning): Time to wrap up those long-winded stories.

• Red Flag (Wrap-Up): Last call for brilliant ideas!

• Pro Tip: Enable "Hide Time at Zero" for when you want your timer to pull a disappearing act.

6. Choose Your Audience

• Hosts Only: For your eyes only, 007.

• Hosts and Guests: Sharing is caring!

7. Position Your Timer

Drag and drop it wherever you want. It's like interior decorating, but for your virtual meeting room.
