Time Zones overview

How Calendly detects your time zone

Calendly automatically detects your time zone when you create an account. When an invitee schedules an event with you, it is published to your calendar in the time zone you've set within your calendar settings. You can view or change your time zone at any time from your Account Settings.

Editing your time zone for your default schedule or event types

By default, Calendly uses the time zone in your account settings for your default schedule and event types.

To change your default schedule:

1. From the Availability page, go to your default schedule and select the current time zone at the bottom.
2. Search for your new time zone; the local time will show next to it.
3. Once selected, your schedule automatically saves with the new time zone.

To change your event type time zone:

1. From your Event Types page, select the event you would like to update. 
2. Expand the Availability section and select the current time zone below your available hours. 
3. Search for your new time zone; the local time will show next to it. 
4. Select Save changes at the bottom of the screen. 

How Calendly handles invitees' time zones

Calendly automatically detects your invitee’s time zone and shows your availability in their local time. When they schedule, the event on their calendar will match their calendar's time zone.

If they want to see your availability in a different time zone, they can select it from the drop-down menu on your scheduling page.

How Calendly handles daylight savings time

Calendly automatically adjusts for daylight savings. When invitees book events before or after daylight savings, Calendly adjusts the times they see so events are scheduled at the right time.

Locking an event type to a specific time zone

If you’re holding in-person meetings, we recommend locking your event type's time zone. This will ensure that invitees view the scheduling page in the time zone that the meeting will be taking place.

1. From your Event Types page, select the event you would like to update.
2. Select More options at the bottom of the screen. 
3. Expand the Booking page options section and select Lock the timezone.
   
4. Select Save changes.
