Microsoft Teams

Step-by-step instructions on how to integrate Microsoft Teams with TIMERshare using the virtual camera feature in OBS Studio or similar live streaming tools.

You can use the online timer tool without registration and for free anytime from the "Create Timer" button on the homepage.

TIMERshare can be easily integrated with Microsoft Teams using the virtual camera feature in OBS Studio and other live streaming tools. This integration allows you to display the timer directly over your camera or use it as a standalone timer.

Set up a timer for meetin

In online meeting tools, the background and camera, including the timer, may appear flipped in the self-view, but other participants see it correctly. Some tools offer a 'Mirror my video' setting that can be disabled, allowing you to see the self-view in the same orientation as other participants.

For more details, please refer to the software's FAQs.

Integrating the timer's chime sound is currently challenging. If participants need to hear the chime, consider sharing the viewer screen separately from the meeting tool.

The method of 'adding an independent timer' described for other online meeting tools does not work for Teams, as it requires user account-based participation via a browser, making it impractical on the user's end.
