Canva slides
Copy your countdown link and paste it into your Canva design (or use Apps → Embeds). It stays live while you present. Full Canva guide.
Canvas LMS
- In the builder, click Embed on website and copy the code.
- In a Canvas page or announcement, open the Rich Content Editor’s embed option, or switch to the HTML editor, and paste the code.
- Save. Students see the live countdown on the page.
Some schools limit which sites can be embedded in Canvas. If the countdown doesn’t appear, ask your Canvas admin, or post the countdown link instead.
Google Sites
Choose Insert → Embed, switch to Embed code, paste the code from Embed on website, and resize the box. Embedding by URL may only show a preview card, so use the code.
Google Classroom
Google Classroom doesn’t show embedded content, so post the countdown link in the Stream or in Classwork. Students open it in their browser and see it live.
Smartboards and projectors
Open the countdown and use the full-screen button in its corner. The numbers scale to fill the screen and stay readable from the back of the room.
