Organization with more than 1 time zone and SharePoint calendars
MattVarney A year later, is this still the case? I am just now learning about managing calendars and events in SharePoint Online and it seems that I can only change the time zone for the entire site, and any events created within that site are subject to that time zone and cannot be changed. Kinda dumb.
Any update or insight is appreciated!
Hidreweverett - Yes, this is still the case. We've had to work around the issue through several methods including workflows to write text values of the time into text fields (with Time Zone labels), as well as writing out the times for both time zones in generated communications, etc. It is a pain. It seems like Microsoft should have more than a few customers in multiple time zones and be able to handle this more elegantly.
MattVarney I totally agree.
I use the calendar to share information about upcoming meetings. My colleagues are all over the world. And I have to add a shout-out above all calendars that the published times are in EST format and that users that are not in EST timezone will have to convert it to their own time.
Would be great to find an easier way!
Jan_Vermond Hi, this still seems to be a problem in November 2020. Google Calendars allows single events in a different time zone to convert in a calendar to the appropriate time for the calendar user. How do we ask MS to do the same?
