Can I project the 2 minute timer on a big screen?

Yes. Click Present on a big screen and the page shows only the timer, full screen, in digits large enough to read from the back of a room.

Can the 2 minute timer count up or finish silently?

Yes. Count up climbs from 00:00 to 2:00 and still alerts you at the end, and setting the alarm to Off gives a silent finish.
