This is a wonderful solution to stop speakers overrunning their allocated time slot. I am using M365 on a Mac and the countdown freezes unless I click it on each slide, whereby the time jumps down. I have tried to run debug and it highlights this area of code. ActivePresentation.SlideShowWindow.View.Slide.Shapes("countdown").TextFrame.TextRange = Format((time - Now()), "hh:mm:ss") Can you help please?

Thanks for this! How can I stop the countdown if the slide changes? Example: If the timer runs out on a slide I show a message "out of time" and move to the next slide. But if they can answer the question before the time is up, they move onto the next slide but the countdown keeps going and eventually shows the message box "out of time". I guess I could add a condition to check the ID of the slide before showing the messagebox and if it is no longer the first slide then don't show the box. Just think there might be an easier way to code the countdown to stop. Thanks!

Using the 'ActivePresentation.SlideShowWindow.View.Slide.Shapes("....")......." it'll make the shape only in the slide that is being shown currently to run the timer, if there is no shape, the code will not run. You can add an error handler 'On error resume next' too. And yes, you can use an If-Condition with the SlideID or SlideIndex to make the conditional MsgBox possible: If ActivePresentation.SlideShowWindow.View.Slide.SlideIndex = 8 Then ....

I've updated the webpage with the same: pptvba.com/countdown#pause You can pause and resume your PowerPoint Countdown Timer using VBA Code present in the above webpage. Have 3 shapes on your slide, on click of which the following macros would be run: Start Button → Sub PlayCountdown() Pause Button → Sub PauseCountdown() Resume Button → Sub ResumeCountdown() When the Pause Button is clicked, the timer freezes and the remaining time is calculated using the DateDiff Function. When the countdown timer is resumed, the future time is updated by adding the remaining time to Now().

You can only run one countdown sub-routine at once. If you're trying to have two countdown run at the same time, modify the existing code and duplicate another line for the .textframe of the new shape (minus 60 in it).
