Using meeting timers

To avoid meetings going over the scheduled time, you can display timers in your meeting or webinar. The Meeting Duration timer shows how much elapsed since you joined the meeting, while the Time Remaining timer shows how much time remains, based on the meeting's scheduled duration. The timers are only visible to you.
