Features for your use case
Speaker time
Countdown at the lectern and on the chamber display, with a visual warning in the last minute.
Interjections with their own clock
A short timer for interjections, separate from the main speech, so nobody loses count.
Overtime in plain sight, the chair decides
When time runs out the count goes negative and turns red. PalcoTimer shows it; cutting the floor is the chair's call.
Session template ready to go
Opening, minutes, short and long speeches, order of the day, personal statements and adjournment already set up.
Chamber display
Project the time on a TV or projector, full screen, readable from the back of the chamber.
Notes to the lectern
The chair sends a message to the speaker's screen, like "Please conclude", without interrupting the speech.
