Standard Time vs Daylight Savings Time

Does Zoom set up meetings based on standard time or daylight savings time?

 

I am in the Eastern Standard Time Zone (EST) and we are currently on daylight savings time (EDT). My goal is to have a meeting at 4 pm local time on April 2nd.

 

So do I schedule the meeting for 4 pm, or do I schedule it for 3 pm to account for daylight savings time?

    @mfavell , if you did not select any timezone when scheduling a meeting, it will follow the local timezone of the machine.

     

    Hoe this helps!

    Sorry, this doesn't help.

     

    The scheduling window says it's in Eastern Standard Time -- but here it's actually Eastern Daylight.

    That option isn't available in the drop-down menu, nor is there any ability to delete the EST.

    See the attached screen shot.

     

    What to do?

      Re-aliving this post two years later to say this is still an issue. We're in Central Daylight Savings time and there is not option for this, only Central Standard Time. 

       

      A recent Zoom Knowledge Article says to re-set the clock on your computer, which I did. And my computer automatically adjusts for Daylight Savings Time. Is there another fix for this?

        Adding to this conversation. This is beyond annoying and caused quite the confusion as I'm in Cancun which does not participate in daylight savings time. But often have zoom's with people in NY or Toronto.
