Time Zones overview

Calendly automatically detects your time zone when you sign up. Any event an invitee schedules with you appears in your calendar based on your current calendar settings.

The time zone displayed on your Meetings Page is based on the time zone you have applied to your Calendly account. You can view or change this time zone anytime from your Account Settings.

Calendly uses your account time zone for all schedules and event types by default. You can update it at any time.

  2. Select a schedule from the Schedule dropdown.
  3. At the bottom of the List view, open the Time zone dropdown.
  4. Search for your time zone. You’ll see the local time next to each option.

How Calendly handles invitee time zones

Calendly detects your invitee’s time zone automatically. It shows your availability in their local time.

When they book a meeting, the event appears on their calendar in their own time zone.

Want to see your availability in another time zone? Invitees can select a new one from the dropdown on your scheduling page.

How Calendly adjusts for daylight saving time

Calendly handles daylight saving time changes for you. If someone books before or after a time change, we adjust the times so meetings happen at the correct local time.

Lock an event type to one time zone

By default, Calendly detects your time zone and your invitee’s time zone. For in-person events, we recommend locking the time zone to the event location.

To lock the time zone:

  1. Go to the Scheduling page and locate your event type.
  2. Open the three-dots-icon.pngthree dots menu and select Edit.
  3. Select More options at the bottom of the editor.
  4. Expand the Booking page options section.
  5. Select the option to Lock the timezone.
  6. Select Save changes.

Setting availability across times zones

If you're traveling or working in different time zones, you can set date-specific hours to reflect your local schedule for those days. Each schedule in Calendly is tired to a single time zone, so enter your availability based on the local time where you will be. Calendly will automatically adjust and show the correct times to your invitees.
