Timer for Bizzabo
Bizzabo's countdown ends when the session starts. Yours is just getting started.
The speaker opens the stage link for a real, running countdown only they can see once they're live. The producer keeps the timer and private cues on a separate control link, alongside Bizzabo's own attendee waiting-room clock.
Product Demo
RunCue
A private pacing timer, not a pre-session waiting screen.
RunCue works alongside Bizzabo in a separate browser tab. It does not install as a Bizzabo integration or access your Bizzabo event, sessions, or attendee data.

Choose the setup that matches who needs to see and control the timer.
| Timer | Speaker visibility | Producer control | Cue context | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bizzabo countdown timer | Shown to all attendees before the session starts, then disappears once the session auto-begins -- never a running view during the session | No producer role; the countdown auto-starts the session with no manual control or private cues | No cue notes; it's a pre-session waiting-room clock, not an in-session run-of-show timer | Building anticipation for attendees before a scheduled session start |
| RunCue browser room | Separate stage and audience links showing a live, adjustable countdown only the intended viewer sees | Separate control link with private producer cues across every segment, nothing to install | Cue cards for every segment plus Reset between rehearsal and live sessions | Bizzabo sessions with a run of show and a speaker who needs to see time remaining once the session is actually live |

FAQ
Using RunCue with Bizzabo
Does Bizzabo have a private, speaker-only timer?
No. Bizzabo's own attendee troubleshooting guide describes a countdown timer attendees see before a session starts, which auto-begins the session once it reaches 2 minutes remaining -- it's a pre-session waiting-room clock, not a private view a speaker can watch once the session is live.
What does Bizzabo's countdown timer actually do?
It's shown to attendees at the bottom of the screen while they wait for a session to begin, and automatically starts the session when it counts down to 2 minutes -- useful for building anticipation, not for pacing a speaker once the session is underway.
Why use RunCue beside Bizzabo?
Use RunCue when a speaker or producer needs a private, running countdown during the actual session -- something Bizzabo's own countdown doesn't provide once the pre-session clock ends -- plus private cue notes across multiple segments.
Does RunCue connect to my Bizzabo account?
No. RunCue runs in a separate browser tab and does not access your Bizzabo event, sessions, or attendee data.
Is RunCue free?
No. There's no permanent free plan. A 15-minute, no-card trial runs the full timer, then Pro is $19/mo and Team is $49/mo.
Is there a trial?
Yes -- and there's no rush to set it up. You get up to 7 days to build the run of show before any clock starts; the 15-minute live trial begins only once you press Start, and it includes the live timer, separate role links, cues, Reset, and segment editing before the room locks.
