Add Time Zones
How to Use This Tool
Add the time zones of everyone you need to schedule a meeting with. Set their typical working hours (default is 9 AM to 5 PM). The tool will find when everyone's working hours overlap.
Tips for Remote Teams
- Consider core hours – the window when everyone should be available
- Rotate meeting times to share the inconvenience fairly across time zones
- For teams spanning 8+ hours, consider async communication as the default
- Record important meetings for those who can't attend live

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find the best meeting time for my global team?
Add each team member's time zone and their typical working hours. The tool calculates when all working hours overlap and shows you the available window in each person's local time.
What if there's no overlap between time zones?
For teams spanning more than 10-12 hours, a full overlap may not exist during standard work hours. Consider flexible schedules, alternating meeting times, or async-first communication.
Does this account for Daylight Saving Time?
Yes. The tool uses your browser's timezone database, which automatically handles DST transitions. Results are accurate for the current date.
How do I schedule fairly when one team always has early or late meetings?
Rotate meeting times weekly or monthly so no single team consistently takes the inconvenient slot. This distributes the burden fairly across all participants.
What's the difference between UTC and GMT?
For scheduling purposes, they're effectively the same. UTC is the precise standard used by computers, while GMT is the time zone name for the UK in winter. Both do not observe daylight saving.
Which time zones don't observe Daylight Saving Time?
India (IST), Japan (JST), China (CST), Singapore (SGT), and most of Africa and South America don't change clocks seasonally. Scheduling with these regions is simpler.
