Time limit option for talking points
E

It would be nice to have a feature created that allows you to set a time limit / expectation on how long the talking point should take.
Such as, an option in talking points settings or something similar to the 'due date' icon for action items, where presenter X can enter that they will be discussing the first talking point for 2 minutes and Fellow would populate the time limit next to the talking point in addition to the universal time (or have time converted to the users time zone)
Example:
[2minutes][UTC 14:00 - 14:02]
This would help with:
- Planning the length of the meeting and similar meetings in the future
- keeping meetings from running over
- Ensuring everyone person who is scheduled to speak gets their full allotted time

It would help us to limit discussion on topics within a meeting. We enjoyed this feature in Docket.

Provide timers per meeting section

To keep the meeting going according to the original time schedule, it would be nice to have a timer (online visible to all meeting participants) counting down per meeting section

it would be great if such a feature also calculated and displayed the expected start time for each section of the agenda, pulling the calendar info and adding talking points sequentially

Thanks Mirna Shaltout! A colleague and I were actually having a meeting to plan a meeting when I sent the message earlier. When it's just two of us, it's easier to manage time spent from one topic to the next, but with a larger group (e.g., our combined team of 9 highly engaged folks) it can be difficult and hard for a person to be the timekeeper. Using a system that keeps time also feels more objective instead of it feeling like an individual is policing the group. I think something ideal would be similar to the timer in the upper left corner during a meeting, but it would need to be optional as some sections would not need to be timed and we might NOT want the pressure of a time clock. This is especially the case if having a meeting in a 1 on 1 setting or something potentially sensitive. So it would definitely need to be optional from one talking point to the next. It would be especially helpful for brainstorming meetings where it's easy to trail down a rabbit hole. Hope this additional information sheds more light! Thanks again.
