Plan a meeting across time zones

Add the zones your team works from and find the hours that fall inside everyone’s working day β€” or, when none do, the least unreasonable compromise.

Meeting planner

Pick up to five zones. Green marks hours inside everyone’s 9:00–17:00, amber marks hours that are at least awake for all, and times are shown on each zone’s own clock.

Convert a specific date and time

Planning ahead? Enter the date and time you have in mind to see what it becomes elsewhere, with the daylight saving rules that will apply then β€” not the ones in force today.

Scheduling across a wide time gap

Some pairings have no honest answer. India and the US west coast are 12.5 to 13.5 hours apart depending on the season, which puts their working days almost exactly opposite each other. No hour satisfies a 9-to-5 on both sides, so someone takes an early morning or a late evening. The useful question is not which hour is best but who absorbs the cost, and whether it rotates.

Where a gap is wide but not total β€” India to the US east coast, or Europe to Singapore β€” there is usually a narrow band of an hour or two at the edge of both working days. Those slots are worth protecting for the calls that genuinely need everyone, and worth avoiding for routine updates that could be written down instead.

One practical caution: a recurring slot booked in one zone will drift relative to the other twice a year, because daylight saving transitions rarely fall on the same date in two countries. A standing call that sits comfortably at the edge of the working day can quietly move an hour outside it in March or November. The planner above uses today’s rules, so re-checking a recurring meeting after each transition season is worth the minute it takes.
