"This mode also includes a timer at the top of the screen that helps you keep track of how long you’ve spent on a given topic so that you don’t run over time."

Also similar to something Google often does in meetings (according to some article I've read on here). They just project a giant timer on one wall. I can't remember if it's usually timing the meeting as a whole or one section.
