How it works

Open zoomtime in your meeting

Host or co-host clicks Apps → zoomtime in the Zoom toolbar. No bots, no recording, no downloads for anyone else.

Clocks start running

Zoom tells zoomtime who's speaking. Each person's clock runs while they talk, like a chess clock with several players.

Show it, or keep it to yourself

Watch it privately in the sidebar, copy a report at the end, or put the live scoreboard on your own video tile so everyone sees it.

What you get

⏱

A clock per person

Running talk time for every participant, biggest talker on top, live indicator on whoever is speaking.

🧮

Human time

Elapsed time multiplied by people in the room, integrated as they join and leave. A 30 minute call with 8 people is 4 hours of humans.

📊

Share of airtime

Each person's percentage of all talking, and of the whole meeting. Yes, including the silence.

📺

Scoreboard on your tile

Pro: overlay the live board on your own video. Every participant sees it, on any device, without installing anything.

📋

Copy the report

One click copies a plain-text summary for the meeting notes. Nothing is stored on our side.

🔒

Nothing recorded

zoomtime never hears audio. It only counts Zoom's own "active speaker" signal, and the numbers live in your Zoom client.

FAQ

Why does it only work for the host or co-host?

Zoom only sends the "who is speaking" event to hosts and co-hosts. Any host can promote you to co-host in two clicks.

Does it record or listen to the meeting?

No. It never touches audio. It reads Zoom's active-speaker signal, the same one that draws the yellow border around a tile.

How accurate is it?

As accurate as Zoom's own speaker detection: loud, sustained speech counts, quick "mm-hmm"s mostly don't. Think meeting hygiene, not a court transcript.

Do the other participants need to install anything?

No. Only the person running the meter needs the app. With Pro, they see the scoreboard on your video tile.

Where does the data go?

Nowhere. Counting happens in your Zoom client. Close the app and it's gone, unless you copied the report.
