Showing two Timezones in Outlook
If you travel a lot or work internationally it's very easily to tie your brain up in knots trying to make sense of different time zones. Outlook has a useful feature that allows you to show two different time zones on your calendar so you always know when your meetings will take place. It looks a bit like this:
To add an extra time zone to your Outlook calendar:
- Click on Tools > Options > Calendar Options
- Click on Time Zone... in the advanced options section
- Place a tick against Show an Additional Time Zone
- Select the additional Time Zone you would like to see and whether to adjust for daylight savings time.
- Give your new time zone a short label (e.g. PAC for US Pacific Time) and make sure there's an intelligent label at the top for your current time zone.
- Click OK three times to save
Now, when viewing your calendar you'll see two different time zones in the Day and Week views. You can also change these settings by right-clicking on the vertical time list in either of these views.
