EzyTimerKnow what stays live when the internet does not.
EzyTimer is built so the event timer, room display, presenter overlay, and virtual camera keep running locally. This page separates local show operation from website, download, update, and licensing services.

Operator rule of thumb. If internet disappears at the venue, keep the show laptop awake, keep the local Wi-Fi/hotspot alive, and keep EzyTimer open. Before doors:
- Run Show Ready check from the controller or tray menu.
- Open the audience display and confirm it updates when you start/pause.
- Select EzyTimer virtual camera in Zoom or Teams if remote speakers need the timer.
- Save a diagnostic report if anything feels off before the show starts.
