Dear Christine Barnes,
Good day! Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A forum and sharing the detail.
Thank you for reaching out regarding the timer functionality in Microsoft Teams meetings.
Regarding your questions, the countdown timer is currently rolling out and may not yet be available to all applicable customers. I recommend checking your meeting controls to confirm availability.
For the latest updates on this feature, please follow this link: Microsoft 365 Roadmap | Microsoft 365 and refer to update ID 494842.
You can try to check if this feature takes effect on your tenant or not, kindly following these steps:
- Open the meeting controls during a scheduled Teams meeting.
- Click on the “More” menu (three dots).
- Select the Timer option.
- Set the desired duration (up to 100 minutes).
- Click Start.
Please note that this timer feature is currently available only in scheduled meetings, and not in ad-hoc Teams calls.
If you would like to use the timer in a different way, please feel free to reply to this response. I’ll be happy to assist further or explore alternative solutions.
Should you have further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out.
