ToastMasters Timer
A basic timer to indicate to a speaker how long they have been speaking
through the use of color. The intervals are displayed at the lower left
corner of the screen and are adjustable.
Once the timer is started, the background of the page will change
through 5 colors:
-
Gray is the starting color and means the
speaker has plenty of time.
-
Green indicates that the speaker has passed
the first time checkpoint and is free to continue speaking.
-
Yellow indicates that the speaker has
passed the second checkpoint and should start wrapping up.
-
Red indicates that the speaker has passed the
second checkpoint and should stop as soon as possible.
-
Black indicates that the speaker has
overrun their time and is disqualified from voting.
