Can I embed a live stopwatch in a slide?

Add-ins such as web viewers can show a web page in a slide, but they depend on your Office version.

How do I time each slide?

Press Lap (L) on every slide change to see time per slide.

Does Google Slides have one?

No built-in stopwatch either; use the same approach.

Stopwatch in PowerPoint – Options Without Add-ins

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): PowerPoint has no built-in stopwatch that you can drop on a slide. The simplest options: in presenter view, keep the browser stopwatch open on your laptop screen while the audience sees the slides; or put the stopwatch on a second screen or a phone at the lectern. Presenter view also has its own small timer showing how long you have been presenting.
