Guide: Meeting Times
↑ Back to toolWhat it shows
Pick a time on your clock and the cities that are joining. This time zone meeting planner shows that same moment in each city. Cities are grouped into the Americas, Europe and Africa, and Asia and the Pacific, so a long list of chips stays scannable.
How to use
- Set the meeting on your local clock.
- Turn on every city that needs to be on the invite. Turn a city off again with the same chip.
- Read the list. Copy the times, or copy the page link and send that.
Next day and previous day
A meeting at 21:00 in London can already be the next morning in Mumbai, and still the previous evening in Los Angeles. When a city’s date is not your date, the card says Next day or Previous day next to the weekday. Put that weekday in the calendar invite. “Tuesday 9:00” is the wrong line if half the call is already on Wednesday.
Daylight saving is included. The browser follows the current rules for each zone, including the weeks when London has switched and New York has not.
Examples
Noon UTC on 15 June is 13:00 in London (summer time) and 21:00 in Tokyo, still on the 15th. The same noon in winter London is 12:00, not 13:00. That is why the tool asks for a real date and time, not “just add five hours.”
A 9:00 meeting in Mumbai is 3:30 in London the same morning, and 22:30 the previous evening in New York during US daylight time. The Previous day label is the reminder to check the calendar date, not only the clock.
The page link
The address of this page stores the instant and the chosen cities. Opening it later shows those clocks again. It does not create an account or store the meeting anywhere else. The copied times are plain text, one city per line, ready to paste into Slack, email, or a calendar description.
Common mistakes
- Typing the other city’s time into the box. The box is your clock. If you type 9:00 because that is when London should meet, and you are in Mumbai, you have set 9:00 in Mumbai.
- Ignoring the weekday. The hour can look fine while the date has already rolled over.
- Adding an hour for daylight saving by hand. The conversion already did that. A second hour makes the invite wrong.
- A city that is not in the list. Pick the nearest zone you do have. Denver is not Chicago. Lagos is not London.
FAQ
Whose time do I type?
Yours. The clock on the left is your local time. Each city shows what the clock says there at that same moment.
Does this call a time server?
No. The browser’s time-zone data does the conversion. The page link only stores the instant and the city names.
What does Next day mean?
That city’s calendar date is one day ahead of yours. Previous day means they are still on the day before. The weekday under the time is the one to put in the invite.
Can I send this to the other people?
Copy the times into the invite, or copy the page link. Anyone who opens the link sees the same cities and the same moment.
Why is my own city listed twice?
The highlighted card is your clock, from the zone your browser reports. If you also turn on a city in that same zone, it appears again in the list. That is the same time.
Does daylight saving change the result?
Yes, and it is already included. London and New York do not switch on the same weekend. You do not add or subtract an hour yourself.
