Timer

The Timer lets you set a countdown timer for players to see in the Virtual Desktop.

It's most often used to put pressure on a decision e.g. giving players a fixed window of 5 minutes to choose between responses/take action before the exercise moves on.

Configuration

The Timer is hidden by default and must be switched on before it's made visible to players.

Navigate to Configuration > Channels > Timer and toggle it on.

Setting a timer

1. Create a new inject

2. Select Timer as the channel

3. Set the duration

When the inject fires, the timer pop-up appears in the same on-screen location as captions and counts down for players to see.
