How do I find the best meeting time across time zones?

Add all participant time zones (up to 5), set your meeting duration, and check the 'Best Times' panel. The tool analyzes business hours (8 AM - 6 PM) across all zones and suggests optimal slots where everyone is available during work hours.

What do the timeline color codes mean?

Green indicates business hours (8 AM - 6 PM), amber shows edge hours (6-8 AM or 6-8 PM), and gray represents outside hours (before 6 AM or after 8 PM). The lunch icon (🍽️) marks 12-2 PM. These help you avoid scheduling during inconvenient times.

Can I share meeting times with participants?

Yes! Click 'Share Proposal' to copy a link that preserves your selected timezones, date, time, and duration. Recipients will see the exact same meeting setup. You can also use 'Copy Selected Times' for a text summary, or export to Google Calendar, Outlook, or download an ICS file.

How do I search for timezones?

Use the search box to find timezones by city name (e.g., 'Mumbai'), country (e.g., 'India'), timezone abbreviation (e.g., 'IST', 'PST'), or UTC offset. Results are grouped by continent and sorted by relevance.

How accurate are the time zone conversions?

The tool uses the IANA time zone database and automatically accounts for daylight saving time changes. Select a specific date to ensure accurate conversions, especially important around DST transition periods in spring and fall.

What if there's no overlap in business hours?

The tool suggests the best available times even without perfect overlap, showing which participants would be in edge or outside hours. Status badges indicate lunch overlap, edge hours, or outside hours so you can make informed decisions.
