Boost Your Business Productivity Using Chrome Slides Timer Extension

I've really enjoyed the app and how it adds a layer of functionality to my slides; however, the continuous pop-up for the premium or pro or whatever is making it to the point that I'm about to completely uninstall the app and discontinue use.

Ever since the pro version came out, but slides extenstion has stopped working. The date, time, and count down timer will not work. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it. I have closed out my browser and logged back in. I have even restarted my computer. Nothing is working.

This was previously a useful extension but of course now that they've released a premium version they have made their free version markedly worse. Now, I have to display the clock down the seconds and only having hour and minute is a premium feature. So frustrating! Edit: you can use <<time^>> to not display seconds, however I feel for any one who has used this extension extensively and now has to fix all of this because of a frustrating decision made by a developer to extract profit from their users. Shameful.

Here is the features to add back for free, if you add them for free, then I will buy ur subscription ;) Time, Date formatting* Pausing and playing (As well as the keys being d & e)* One pro feature: Jump to slide *Indicates required feature

Why do I need to pay now, I have a lot of slides with the clock <<time|hh:mm>> Im super angry now that you need to pay for it now. I dont want to pay for it. If you can add a toggle to hide the seconds timer and add another toggle to turn off military time, that would be helpful, Thanks!

Suddenly requested my email address and browser search history. SUPER SHADY! Users should uninstall immediately. EVEN MORE SHADY: The developer is denying that this extension uses these permissions, but this is false. ALL USERS SHOULD UNINSTALL THIS IMMEDIATELY!

I have been using this for years in the classroom, and with the new update, none of the original tags work. Useless and stupid.

Would there be a old version coz i cant even find a way to get a short time, i did <<time^>> which it supposed to be only hour and minute, but it came as hour, minute and second as soon i present. Anyway to fix this?

Really helpful.

Loved it until now when it asked for new permission to read my browsing history, why is this now suddenly necessary to run the extension? If I get a decent answer I'll change my rating, thanks. Update: thanks for the quick reply, it was scary to get such prompt but I understand now that it's to do with tabs permissions and seems like Google changed how it now points this out with such scary labels. Thanks again, the extensions rocks

Replying to part of Paul Robertson's issue, if you format your timer to look something like <10:00-$>>, start your slideshow on a slide before your timer, then it seems to work. Your timer won't start until you press 'd'. I can't get pausing to work though, but having control over starting is the biggest piece for me.

The timer worked. I had issues at first, but I had to close Google Chrome browser and reopen it. The only issue I have now is that the slide progression does not work. The timer goes off, but does not move to the next slide like it should. I am using the <<10:05-+>> format.

Everything is well, except that when "d" key is pressed, it won't pause. Please fix this bug. Please

This extension is a really handy add-on to a Slide deck - I added the time and date to the master slide theme and now my auto-playing display slides include the date and time, all the time! It responds to Slides formatting, so it can match the text of the deck. My only kvetch is that centering does not seem to work quite right; the CODE may be centered, but the DISPLAY is left-justified.

I use this Add-on a lot. Works great!! So easy to add a timer on a slide by simply adding a textbox and typing <<3:00>>. This let's me plan out how much time I want to spend on a particular slide and help me keep on pace.

This extension is exatcly what I was looking for! However, I noticed that the funcionality of advancing to the next slides automatically is not working.

I can't using countdown trigger advancing to the next slide by adding + <<00:10-+>> Is there anyone like me who can't be used? Developer, please!!! Please fix this problem. I need this plug-in very seriously!!!!!

Works well. Take the time to understand how to use the text codes and it'll work perfectly.

Best I can judge, the instructions lack clarity and examples. "Add $ in a count down or up timer to start it in a paused state." Well, there's no example of this further down, so should I write <<$0:00>> , <<0:00$>>, or some other combination? I'm looking at this because after using the timer once successfully on a slide, it never worked again. Hitting the "e" key indeed resets it to the first value, but that will not start the timer again. Hitting "d" only advances it by one second. It never does a countdown again, despite instructions stating to “Pause and restart timers with the d key.” So either the instructions are poor, or the timer simply does not work more than once. Another irritating feature: as soon as you launch your slideshow, the timer has already started. So if you want a certain countdown time, make sure to add in the extra seconds it takes for the slide to load. If you are trying to present one line at a time and hitting a key to advance your presentation by paragraph, bad news: your timer started already and is finished, and you can't use it any longer. Returning to the timer slide from elsewhere in your presentation does not reactivate it either. Only exiting slideshow mode and refreshing the entire presentation achieves this. And to answer the riddle above about the $? Neither of the forms I tried worked - at least with the instructions I've seen so far. In a review above I see someone has written that we shouldn’t use a text box, but rather a rectangle for this. That seems like a fairly unintuitive step, so instructions are certainly lacking there as well. Great idea, would be a nice feature if I could understand how the developer imagines it is supposed to work.

It Worked perfectly! I was trying to make a fake operating system. And this helped!! So I can show the time.

Doesnt work.

It does not work as it is supposed to, but the codes are easy. I insert in many different codes, but the codes are unable to work.

Just what I wanted! Thanks! This worked immediately for me. It is very simple and so useful!
