FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does Zoom have a built-in timer?
Yes. Zoom has a meeting timer for personal timekeeping and a Timer App that can be shown to participants.
Why use RunCue with Zoom?
Use RunCue when the speaker needs a clean timer and the producer needs separate controls and private cues.
Does RunCue connect to my Zoom account?
No. RunCue runs in a separate browser window and does not access your Zoom account or participant data.
Can the speaker see producer cues?
No. The stage and audience views do not receive producer cues or control access.
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.
