If you host a lot of online meetings, you must have frequently experienced meetings that run overtime. This is an unpleasant experience for both the host and participants as a meeting that ends late could affect everyone’s plans and productivity.
However, it is not exactly any more productive if the host of a meeting has to keep checking the clock to keep track of meeting time. This would be a big distraction and would affect the quality of the meeting if the host is not focused and engaging in the conversations taking place during the meeting.
A solution to this is to use a timer extension such as Call Timer for Meet. Meeting hosts can offload the task of managing the time to this extension by setting the intended start and end time of any online meetings using Google Meet.
