Timer for GoToWebinar
GoToWebinar's timer doesn't reach panelists. Give them one that does.
The panelist opens the stage link. The producer runs the countdown and private cues from a separate control link.
Product Demo
RunCue
Give panelists what GoToWebinar's own timer can't show them.
RunCue works beside GoToWebinar. It does not install in GoToWebinar or access your account or attendee data.

FAQ
Using RunCue with GoToWebinar
Does GoToWebinar have a built-in timer?
Yes. Organizers start it from Tools > Timer and can choose whether to show it to attendees. GoTo's own support team has confirmed it's visible to organizers, not to panelists.
Can a panelist see the GoToWebinar timer privately?
Not by default. A GoTo Community idea thread requesting exactly that — a countdown visible to presenters and panelists — remains an open request, not a shipped feature.
Why use RunCue beside GoToWebinar?
Use RunCue when the panelist needs their own private countdown and the producer needs separate controls and cues that never reach the panelist or audience.
Does RunCue connect to my GoToWebinar account?
No. RunCue runs in a separate browser window and does not access your GoToWebinar account or attendee data.
Is there a trial?
Yes. The 15-minute trial includes the live timer, separate role links, cues, Reset, and segment editing before the room locks.
