Google Slides doesn't know how to run timers natively. Install the free Live Slides Timer Chrome extension to make this tag count down in real time.
How Does the Generated Timer Tag Work?
When you paste a generated tag (like {{5:00-|@]}}) into a slide text box in Google Slides, it remains as normal text in edit mode. When you click Slideshow (Present), the free Live Slides Timer Chrome extension automatically scans the slide and replaces the placeholder with an active, high-precision visual timer.
