Space Timer: One Clock, Every Room

SpatialChat introduced the Space Timer in its June 2026 product update. It gives organizers a single countdown that follows the experience instead of belonging to one room. Participants may be networking in a Breakout Room, watching a presentation on a Stage, or working in another environment; the same clock remains in view.

That sounds like a small interface addition. Operationally, it is a useful piece of event infrastructure: people can manage their own final minutes, hosts need fewer interruptions, and transitions become visible before they become urgent.

Why it matters in a multi-room Space

Less interruption. Hosts can let the clock do the reminding instead of repeatedly breaking into conversations.

More autonomy. Participants decide when to finish a thought, exchange a link, or move to the next room.

Cleaner transitions. A common deadline keeps parallel activities aligned even when they are not identical.

One rhythm, many formats. The same signal can coordinate Breakout, Stage, Workplace, and Meeting experiences.

Start a Space-wide countdown

The workflow is deliberately short: choose the clock, enter the number of minutes, and start.

Figure 1. The organizer chooses a duration in minutes; the interface states that the timer is Space-wide and capped at 30 minutes.

Once running, the clock includes a stop control for the organizer. The supplied recording does not show a pause or edit state, so the safest operating habit is simple: decide the duration before pressing Start, and stop and restart only if the run of show genuinely changes.

The countdown travels with the room change

This is the feature’s central behavior. SpatialChat Spaces can contain multiple rooms that organizers rename, group, hide, password-protect, and link to directly. The Space Timer sits above that room-level architecture, giving all of it a common horizon.
