Time alerts for meetings on Teams?

Question

Time alerts for meetings on Teams?

Goncalo Pereira 10

Hello,

Is there any app or configuration that can be done to notify a speaker on a Teams meeting that time is running out?

For example, when 5m is left, an alert would be received (any kind of alert, sound, colour card, emoji displayed, etc...)

Another alert when time was exhausted.

this is quite useful for meetings with several speakers for time management purposes.

Let me know if it's clear or more details needed.

Thank you

Hi @Goncalo Pereira,

Currently there is a built-in feature in Teams that when a meeting is 5 minutes to end, you would see a banner notification like:

If you have requirements like sound notification, please consider posting in Teams feedback forum to submit your feedback to Microsoft.

There are also some active threads:

Thanks for your understanding.

Hi Kael Yao,

I think (and I have the same question), it is not about the alert when the meeting is about to end, but when, for example, there is a meeting and each person has 10 min to talk about some topic. Is there a tool to warn each person, e.g. 1 minute before the time runs out? Thank you

This seems to be an abandoned topic, but I too am curious about this.
We run meetings where each individual has between 2-7 minutes to speak, in order to keep overall timing. I would love to know if there's a way to "warn" speakers when they have 60, 30, and 0 seconds remaining for their allotted time.

Agree. I use this for Toastmasters and would be nice to have warning system (green 5 min, Yellow 2 min and red times up) that could let the speaker know that time is coming close to end.

The question is about when there are multiple speakers so not just the end of the meeting. A way to let speakers know how much time they have left. So say 4 people have 10 minutes each how can you tell them when they have hit 5 mins 8 minutes and 1 minute remaining to keep them in track.
