Can I show the timer on top of PowerPoint?

PowerPoint full screen covers other windows; use presenter view or a second device for the timer.

Does the screen stay on?

Full screen keeps it awake in most browsers.

Can students see seconds?

Yes, the countdown shows minutes and seconds.

Classroom Timer – Full Screen Countdown

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): Set the time, press Start and click full screen: the countdown fills the projector so the whole room can see it, and the alarm marks the end. For presentations, run the timer on your laptop screen in presenter view while slides show on the projector, or open it on a phone at the lectern. Turn off the alarm sound for silent tests.
