24-Hour Overlap Finder
Each block represents one hour of the day in the base participant's time zone. Green means all participants are within working hours. Amber means partial overlap. Neutral means no one is in their window.

Why Use a Meeting Time Zone Planner?
Scheduling across time zones is error-prone when done manually. A single DST transition or off-by-one hour mistake can mean half the team joins an hour early or late.
- Instant multi-timezone conversion — see all participants’ local times in one table
- DST-safe — uses the browser’s Intl API so daylight saving changes are handled automatically
- Overlap finder highlights every hour where all participants fall within working hours
- Configurable working-hours window — adjust start and end time to match each team’s schedule
- Shareable link encodes all inputs (no personal data) so teammates see the same planner
- Copy summary exports a plain-text block ready to paste into Slack, email, or a calendar invite
- 100% private — no data is sent to any server; everything runs in your browser
- Works for any combination of cities, teams, or countries across all IANA time zones
Frequently Asked Questions
A meeting time zone planner is a tool that converts a proposed meeting time into every participant’s local time zone so you can check whether the slot works for everyone before sending a calendar invite. This free planner also scans a full 24-hour window to highlight the hours where every participant’s local time falls within working hours — making it easy to find the best meeting time for a global team.
Add each participant with their time zone, set the proposed date and meeting time, and read the results table. Each row shows that participant’s local day and time. Use the 24-hour overlap strip to find an hour where every participant is within their working-hours window. Copy the summary or share the link so the whole team can see the proposed time in their own zone.
The best global meeting time is the slot where the most participants — ideally all of them — fall within standard working hours (roughly 09:00 to 18:00 in their local time). For teams spread across the Americas, Europe, and Asia-Pacific there is rarely a perfect overlap; the overlap finder highlights the greenest hours so you can pick the least disruptive time. Common sweet spots for trans-Atlantic teams are 15:00–17:00 UTC; for Asia-Europe teams, 08:00–10:00 UTC.
Yes. All time conversions are performed using the browser’s built-in Intl.DateTimeFormat API with the IANA time zone identifier for each participant. The browser applies the correct UTC offset for the specific date you choose, including any DST transition, without any manual offset arithmetic. This means the planner is accurate for past and future dates even when clocks change.
Yes, completely free. Add participants, pick a time, and share the link — no account, no sign-up, and no usage limits. Everything runs in your browser.
A UTC offset (like UTC+5:30) is a fixed numeric shift from Coordinated Universal Time. A time zone (like Asia/Kolkata) is a named region with rules that determine which UTC offset applies at any given moment — including DST transitions. This tool uses full IANA time zone names so that DST is handled correctly, rather than fixed UTC offsets that would give wrong times after a clock change.
No. The planner runs entirely in your browser. Participant labels, time zones, and meeting times are never sent to any server. The shareable link encodes participant labels and IANA time zone identifiers as URL query parameters — no names, email addresses, or identifying information are included.
