Can I set a timer?

Set a timer on Wooclap to limit the time participants have to answer live questions and to manage time efficiently.

Setting timers for Live Sessions

Improve everyone's focus by limiting the time they have to answer questions. You can specify a timer for a single question or for all questions within an event.

☝️ A timer can only be set for Live Sessions, not Questionnaires.

💡 Note that the timer is set up for minutes (left square) and seconds (right square).

For a single question

To set up a timer for a single question, first go into the edition screen of that question. You can then set up a timer on the right side of your screen.

First, toggle the option and then set up the minutes and seconds of the timer.

For all questions within an event

You will find the option to activate a timer for all questions in the ⚙️ Settings under Interactivity. Once you toggle the option Add timer to all questions, you will be able to set the minutes and seconds for your timer. Clicking on + or - will add or remove 10 seconds to the timer.

Displaying a question with a timer

The timer will start automatically once the question is displayed, and the voting will be closed once time runs out. If you'd like to give the audience more time to answer, you can always re-open the voting by clicking the little lock icon at the bottom of the screen.

💡 You can also use your keyboard's space bar to open or close a vote.
