Countdown Timer for Breakout Room ? (not "60 second warning")

It would be incredibly helpful if Zoom displayed a Countdown Timer while participants are in Breakout Rooms. This would help participants to know how much time is left so that everyone has a chance to speak/discuss.

The is a "count-up" timer, but this is not as useful as it requires people remember exactly how long the Breakout Room session was for, and is not as clear as a "count-down"

There is also a 60 second reminder, but that does little to help participants manage their time over the course of a given breakout session.

 

Does such a feature exist?

If not, what is the best way to submit this feature request to Zoom?

You can already do this by setting up the time for the breakout session when you create the rooms. Then the time remaining will be shown in each room.

How, exactly?

If you check "Auto close break rooms after X minutes"  a countdown timer will show at the top of the screen in every breakout room.  To get to these settings, click the Settings gear in the lower left corner.
