The meeting timezone problem [again]

[Brevity2024]

I am in timezone X, but most people I meet with are in timezone Y.

I am the one who schedules the meetings.

In order to avoid confusion for other attendees I would like the meeting time in the invitation to reflect as their timezone (Y) not mine (X).

Problem: when I create the meeting I select timezone Y but the invitation people receive is still in timezone X.

I have read a number of queries about this that do not seem to have been addressed. I contacted Zoom support who told me to try various things that did not work. That even included changing the timezone on my computer which is obviously not a feasible solution since I still need to be using timezone X for myself.

I am puzzled that the Zoom software seems incapable of sending an invitation in a different timezone to the one of the person scheduling the meeting.

Has anyone figured this out or is it actually a deep flaw in the Zoom code that no-one wants to fix/change?

I have exactly the same problem. The chatbot suggested that I change my Zoom user's timezone, but I can't do that as I run webinars for different locations globally. It needs to be set on the webinar. I have changed the timezone on the webinar but it doesn't affect the timezone shown to the users. I tried to access the registration page via a VPN to the timezone in question (Pacific Time), but even then it still showed the time in Madrid time.

I asked Zoom support about this and they explained that the time and TZ shown changes according to the viewer's timezone - the registration page detects that automatically. So, it will always show it to you in your own timezone, even if you VPN via some other country, since it depends on your computer's clock settings. In other words, it shows the correct time and timezone for everyone that visits. I tried that out by changing my computer's timezone and that new timezone was used in the registration page. I think it's working ok.
