Club meeting clock with Toastmasters presets
This page is the club clock: pick a Table Topics, evaluation, Ice Breaker, prepared-speech, or custom preset, then start and stop while the speaker is on. The screen color follows the running preset so the room can see the clock without a second explainer.
Cue meanings and common thresholds belong on the Toastmasters green, yellow, and red signal times guide. Print physical sheets from the timing cards, read tonight’s briefing on How to Be the Timer, and copy spoken lines from the Timer role script.
The clock works on phones, tablets, laptops, and desktops in the browser. No app download. For Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams, share this tab so participants see the running clock.

Using this clock in a virtual meeting
Use this page as the shared club clock, not as a second cue chart:
- Open this page in your browser before the meeting starts
- Select the speech-type preset that matches tonight’s agenda
- When sharing on Zoom or Google Meet, share just this browser tab
- Press Start (or the spacebar) when the speaker begins
- Watch the on-screen color change with the running clock
- Press Stop when the speaker finishes and note the final time
Using this clock at a contest
You can run the same start/stop clock for a contest speech. Confirm grace periods, eligibility, and report duties from the current rulebook and chief judge briefing. Color meanings stay on the timing signals guide; the report process stays on How to Be the Timer.

Toastmasters Speech Timer FAQ

Which meeting presets are on this clock?
