How exact do you need the timing to be?

If you are just looking for a 'roughly 20 minute intermission' type of
countdown, then make a presentation with slides titled '20 minutes left' to
'1 minute left', then set the transition to auto-advance after 60 seconds.
The show will end about 20 minutes after it was started.


It is quick a easy, you do not need to download a pre-made presentation.

There are a few other options if your needs are more precise.

Hello,

PowerPoint does not have the ability to display a dynamically updating date
and/or time during slide show. Although there are various add-in's and
workarounds (which has already been communicated in this thread), many of
which will not work if you are using the PowerPoint Viewer to display your
slide show.

If it is important to you (or anyone else reading this message) that
PowerPoint provide an out-of-the-box capability for easily displaying
current (dynamically updating) time and/or date in various formats
(including such things as a countdown timer) during slide show (without
having to resort to VBA or add-ins, so that the solution will also work in
the Viewer), please send your feedback to Microsoft at:

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also WHY it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. Microsoft receives thousands of product
suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product
development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones
that are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state
your case as clearly and completely as possible.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions)
