Got an activity you want to complete under a specific amount of time? Use a Countdown Timer and stop when it beeps!
It's a handy way to keep your momentum going during a session, and helps keep your participants mindful of how much time they have for exercises and activities.
Preparing a Timer
Timers can be created during live sessions and beforehand. We recommend prepping it beforehand in the Room Setup to make sure everything runs smoothly and according to plan.
You can set the time, add a description, and pick the music to play during the session, all the while previewing how it will appear to your participants!
Protip: Need to set an energetic pace to your activity? Use the Power Butter track for your timer to maximise the energy! If you want participants to stay chilled but focused during the activity, choose Soul Butter instead.
Starting a Timer
To start a timer simply head to the Timer menu in the panel on your right and either start a timer that you have prepped or create a new one. Easy peasy! 💫
Facilitator vs Participant view
When you start a the timed activity the timer dialog appears on the screen for both you as a facilitator and your participants.
The difference is that you can stop the timer, and participants can call it done when they finish the activity.
Protip: Keep an eye on the Participants done count and stop the timer if you can see all your participants are already back from the break or done with the exercise to keep things moving.
