ZoomIt Feature - Break Timer in Standalone Window.

Does anyone dealing with development of the Sysinternals Tools read this forum? If so I would like to make a feature suggestion.

I wish you all would add an option for the ZoomIt Break Timer to show in a standalone Window so it could be shared on Teams/Zoom call. Then while on break the presenter could still use their computer, maybe on another monitor unless you could get it to still share while minimized.

So many things are done remote these days and with a long meeting we sometimes take break having a Break Timer that worked without going full screen would be nice. Getting to share in a minimal way so one could still use the computer would be even better.

thanks for the consideration

    Currently, ZoomIt includes a break timer feature that remains active even when you tab away from the timer window. However, it does not support displaying the break timer in a standalone window that can be shared during a Teams or Zoom call. Your suggestion to have the break timer in a separate window would indeed enhance usability for remote presentations, allowing presenters to continue using their computers while still keeping track of the break time.

    For now, users can only utilize the break timer in its existing format, which may not meet the needs of those looking for more flexibility during virtual meetings.
