    Hi @Anna Vinnikova, 

    Thank you for your follow-up and for your interest in the new timer feature in Microsoft Teams. 

    The countdown timer is currently being rolled out and may not yet be available in all environments. According to the latest update from Microsoft, the general availability rollout was rescheduled and is now expected to complete between late September and late October 2025. 

    Possible reasons the Timer option isn’t showing: 

    • The feature is being deployed in phases across tenants. 
    • It is only available in scheduled meetings (not in ad-hoc calls, webinars, or town halls). 
    • No admin action is required, and there are no settings to enable it manually. 

    Unfortunately, there is no way to request early access or expedite the rollout for individual users or tenants at this time. However, you can: 

    • Keep an eye on the “More” menu in your scheduled meetings, the option will appear automatically once your tenant is included. 
    • Follow the Microsoft 365 Roadmap (ID 494842) for the most up-to-date rollout status. 

    We understand how useful this feature can be and appreciate your patience as it becomes available to all users. 

    Please let me know if you'd like help exploring alternative timer options in the meantime, I'd be happy to assist. 

    Warm regards,

    Hello, thank you for a quick response.
    My problem is that I don't have the option "timer" at all.
    I know that the feature is rolling out currently, and I might not have been added yet.
    I would like to ask you to give me an understanding of whether I haven't been added yet, and when I will.
    I would appreciate it if there is an option to be added as soon as possible.

    Thank you

    I have the same question. Has this been rolled out for all tenants as at today?

    Hi @Anna Vinnikova, 

    Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A Forum.  

    I understand you're looking to use a timer feature in Microsoft Teams. I'm happy to share that Teams now includes a built-in countdown timer for meetings, which can help keep sessions on track and time boxed. 

    For the latest updates on this feature, please follow this link: Microsoft 365 Roadmap | Microsoft 365 and refer to update ID 494842. 

    You can try to check if this feature takes effect on your tenant or not, kindly following these steps:  

    1. Join a scheduled Teams meeting. 
    2. Click the More menu (three dots) in the meeting controls. 
    3. Select Timer option. 
      User's image
    4. Set your desired duration (up to 100 minutes) and click Start.  User's image

    The timer will be visible to all participants, and it includes visual alerts and a buzzer sound when time is up. You can also pause, resume, or extend the timer as needed. 

    Please note that this timer feature is currently available only in scheduled meetings, and not in ad-hoc Teams calls.    

    I hope this information is helpful. Please follow these steps and let me know if it works for you. If you would like to use the timer in a different way, please feel free to reply to this response. 

    Thank you again for your patience and for the important work your charity does.  

    Should you have further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out.
