Why do I need to click inside add-in window for the timer to start? Ubi Timer is a content add-in. At the moment, this is the only way to have a PowerPoint add-in work in the presentation mode. Therefore, you have to click within the add-in window, otherwise if you click outside the window, PowerPoint will think you want to move to the next slide.
