How a Qwickword ends on time
A visible timer is easy to ignore. Qwickword makes the chosen limit part of the room itself, so zero is an ending rather than a suggestion.

Choose the limit
Pick a preset or set any whole number from 1 to 30 minutes.

Share one link
Your guest opens it in a browser. They do not need an account or download.
- 3
Reach zero
The shared countdown begins when the second person arrives. At zero, the room ends for both people.
When does the timer start?
Not when the link is created. A new room waits for the people using it. The real countdown starts when a second participant joins, so time spent sending or opening the link does not consume the conversation.
What makes the stop different?
The room provider receives the expiry, and the interface has no extend control. Closing, refreshing, or ignoring a timer in one browser cannot turn the same room into a longer call. If the conversation needs more time, create a fresh Qwickword or choose a regular meeting tool instead.
What does the guest need?
A current browser with camera and microphone permission. There is no guest account and no app installation in the web flow. The pre-join screen shows the chosen duration before the guest enters the room.
Is every conversation a fit?
No. Qwickword is for conversations that can honestly fit inside a pre-agreed cap: a clarification, a check-in, or a focused decision. Workshops, interviews, and anything that needs an uncertain amount of time deserve a different format.
