Use this interactive demo to learn how to insert an animated timer into your Google Slides presentation.

Quick summary

You can add a timer to Google Slides by using the built-in Stock and web panel to search for and insert a timer GIF directly onto your slide. This method requires no third-party add-ons and works in just a few clicks.


Steps

  1. Click the Stock and web icon in Google Slides to open the media search panel.
  2. Type "timer" in the search box to find available timer GIFs.
  3. Click on a timer GIF to select it and preview it before inserting.
  4. Insert the timer GIF — then resize or reposition it on the slide as needed.
  5. Your timer is now live on the slide and ready to use in your presentation.

📌 Why this matters

Adding a timer to Google Slides helps presenters manage time during workshops, classroom sessions, and business meetings without switching between apps. Google Slides' built-in Stock and web panel makes it easy to insert an animated timer GIF in seconds, keeping audiences engaged and on schedule. This no-add-on approach works for anyone already using Google Workspace, making it an accessible productivity tip for teachers, trainers, and speakers alike.
