Frequently Asked Questions

How does the planner find the best meeting time?

It converts each selected time zone's working-hours window (default 9:00–18:00) into UTC, highlights the hours where every zone overlaps, and shows the overlap back in each zone's local time.

Does it handle Daylight Saving Time?

Yes. The tool uses the browser's built-in Intl API with the IANA time zone database, so offsets reflect daylight saving time for today's date automatically.

How many time zones can I compare?

You can compare 2 to 4 time zones at once, chosen from a searchable list of more than 30 major cities around the world.
