Interim guidance for British Columbia time zone changes 2026
Edit: This was fixed on or around October 28 (for us at least).
Here's a fun one. I assume this only applies if you have configured "Work hours and location" in New Outlook.
Set your time zone in New Outlook to PCT and click "Yes, update" when you get the prompt about updating your meeting hours time zone, then close and re-open Outlook. Now if you go to Settings > Calendar > Work hours and location, you get an error saying "Something went wrong while updating your schedule. Please try again later.", and all the settings are greyed out.
Oh, and the "Places" app in Outlook/Teams appears to be broken.
Yup, we saw this as soon as the new Time Zones rolled out to Outlook on the web and have an open ticket with TrackingID 2610090040008344
So far you can break the Places app and its room finder feature (if you're using that integrated into Outlook as well) just by visiting https://places.cloud.microsoft/ choosing "Find a Room" and flipping the Time Zone option for the booking time over to PCT or ABT: When you click Apply all previously available room offerings vanish from the list, every room becomes unavailable to book.
Flipping the time zone back to Seattle/Butte, MT/Saskatoon will restore room offerings. Just great stuff all around :-/
