rpetti_ot I was able to fix this by changing my system timezone settings to Central with automatic DST adjustment turned off, then changing it back to MDT and restarting teams.

    rpetti_ot Hello, I have a similar issue here with Western Europe timezone. Since the US switched to DST last weekend the Teams Desktop app shows all timestamps an hour off.

     

    How did you change the timezone. Using the settings app did not nothing for me. Even restarting after every change the Teams App always stays in the same (wrong) timezone.

     

    Thank you

     

    Best regards
