How does this meeting time planner find the best time across time zones?

Add up to 5 participant time zones, set your meeting duration, and the planner automatically calculates the best overlapping business hours (8 AM - 6 PM) across all zones. The visual time zone overlap shows exactly when everyone is available during work hours.

How do I plan a meeting between US and India time zones?

Add your US time zone (EST, CST, or PST) and IST for India. The time zone overlap visualizer highlights the narrow window where US and India business hours align — typically early morning US / late evening India. The planner suggests the best slots automatically.

What do the timeline colors mean in the time zone overlap view?

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 🍽️ icon marks lunch hours (12-2 PM) and 🏝️ shows weekends. This business hours overlap visualization helps you pick times that work for international teams.

Can I share the meeting time proposal with my international team?

Yes! Click 'Share Proposal' to copy a link preserving your selected timezones, date, time, and duration. Recipients see the exact same setup. You can also export to Google Calendar, Outlook, or download an ICS file for any calendar app.

How accurate is the time zone converter for meetings?

The planner 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 when time zone overlap shifts.

What if there is no business hours overlap between time zones?

The meeting time planner suggests the best available times even without perfect overlap, showing which participants would be in edge or outside hours. Status badges indicate the overlap quality so you can make informed scheduling decisions for your distributed team.
