This is very nice but do you know if there is something similar to this but that can count down days as well? Similar to like a countdown til christmas.

Ryan, we don’t have a day countdown timer as this would be a little impractical in PowerPoint – it would involve having to leave the file running in slideshow mode over the entire period of time being counted down. If there is a variation on this timer that you would like us to create, please let us know!

how can the time countdown be changed from 20 minutes to, for example, 5 minutes?

Ben, to start the timer from five minutes, simply start it at the appropriate slide (which I believe is slide 17). A quick way to start the presentation from a particular slide is to press Shift+F5 when you have that slide selected. You can even delete the previous slides if you don’t want to use them. Hope this helps!

These are great countdown timers…is there a way to reduce the size and include on an ongoing powerpoint presentation, like in the corner?

Thanks for the comment, Keith. I’m afraid this would be more or less impossible to do, as you cannot use a separate PowerPoint file while this one is showing.
It would be possible to create slides themselves with the countdown in the corner, with different animations going on in the foreground on the same slide. However, for the countdown to work correctly the slide timings would have to be kept the same, meaning that each slide, no matter what was on it, would have to progress at the rate of one minute (no clicks involved). So it is not really a practical solution, I’m afraid!
