Common Timezone Scheduling Mistakes to Avoid
❌ Assuming Your Timezone
Never say "Let's meet at 2 PM" without specifying the timezone. Always include timezone abbreviations (EST, GMT, PST) to avoid confusion and missed meetings.
❌ Ignoring DST Changes
Countries change to/from daylight saving time on different dates. The US and Europe have different DST schedules, creating temporary 1-hour differences. Always use a scheduler that handles this automatically.
❌ Always Favoring One Timezone
Consistently scheduling during convenient hours for one timezone creates resentment. Rotate meeting times to share early mornings and late evenings fairly across the team.
❌ Scheduling During Meal Times
Avoid scheduling during typical lunch hours (12 PM - 1 PM local time) or dinner times (6 PM - 7 PM). These are culturally important breaks that reduce meeting attendance and engagement.
How Timezone Meeting Scheduling Works
Our scheduler uses advanced algorithms to find optimal meeting times:
- 1. Timezone Detection: Identifies each participant's timezone using the IANA Time Zone Database (updated regularly for DST and timezone rule changes)
- 2. Working Hours Analysis: Analyzes typical working hours (9 AM - 5 PM local time) for each participant to find overlapping availability windows
- 3. Convenience Scoring: Ranks meeting times by how convenient they are for all participants (morning vs afternoon vs evening)
- 4. Fair Distribution: Suggests rotating meeting times to avoid always favoring the same timezone
- 5. Automatic Conversion: Shows selected times in each participant's local timezone with automatic DST handling
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find the best meeting time across different time zones?
Enter the locations or time zones of all meeting participants. The scheduler will show you overlapping working hours and suggest the best meeting times when most participants are available during their normal work hours. It automatically handles DST and shows times in each person's local timezone.
What's the best time for meetings between USA, Europe, and Asia?
The most common solution is 8-9 AM US East Coast (1-2 PM GMT, 9-10 PM Singapore). This puts Europe in the afternoon and Asia in the evening. Another option is 6-7 PM US West Coast (2-3 AM GMT, 10-11 AM Singapore), though this is difficult for Europe. Our scheduler helps find the fairest compromise.
How does the timezone meeting scheduler handle daylight saving time?
The scheduler automatically adjusts for DST changes in all countries worldwide. It uses the IANA Time Zone Database which tracks all historical and future DST rules. You don't need to manually account for whether it's EST vs EDT or GMT vs BST.
Can I schedule meetings for more than 2 time zones?
Yes! You can add multiple time zones and the scheduler will find overlapping work hours for all participants. Unlike simple timezone converters (World Time Buddy, TimeAndDate), Filator analyzes all zones simultaneously to suggest optimal meeting times.
Is my meeting schedule data stored anywhere?
No. All scheduling calculations happen in your browser with zero data storage or transmission. Unlike Calendly, Doodle, or When2Meet which store your availability on servers, Filator never collects, tracks, or stores your meeting information.
How do I share meeting time options with participants?
After finding optimal meeting times, you can share results showing the time in each participant's local timezone. Unlike Doodle (requires account) or Calendly (paid feature), Filator lets you share meeting times instantly with no signup.
What's the difference between timezone converters and meeting schedulers?
Timezone converters (like World Time Buddy) show what time it is in different zones. Meeting schedulers analyze multiple participants' working hours, find overlaps, and suggest the best times when everyone is available. Our scheduler combines both functions.
Why is Filator better than World Time Buddy or TimeAndDate?
World Time Buddy and TimeAndDate are basic timezone converters showing up to 4-5 zones. Filator is a full meeting scheduler that finds working hour overlaps, suggests optimal times, handles unlimited participants, and provides shareable results—all with no ads and better mobile experience.
