ProPresenter timers

Use named timers

Named ProPresenter timers are the main source for service and speaker countdowns. Video playback timers are a separate, optional choice in the existing widget workflow; they are not silently included as service timers.

Choose and pin a timer

1. Add or connect the ProPresenter computer using its actual network address and API port.
2. Open Timers & Countdowns and select the linked ProPresenter source. Choose the desired reported timer.
3. Set a custom display name and pin the card to Church Remote’s app Home if helpful.
4. Turn on Show on Watch for selected timers, or configure an existing ProPresenter Home Screen countdown widget separately.

Controls and state

Supported timers expose Start, Stop, Reset and running-timer minute adjustments. Stop is not mislabeled as Pause. The display identifies remaining or elapsed time and available running/overtime state. Confirm an actual timer change in ProPresenter during safe testing before using it live.

Freshness and stage differences

The source computer must keep ProPresenter available. Offline readings become stale; a Watch estimate or widget can keep counting from its last reference without receiving new pauses or resets. Stage-screen timer text is not automatically a supported timer source. Planning Center clocks have a separate sign-in and source selection.
