Hi

I received an meeting invitation created in Spain, it apeared to me as being on 26/06 at 7:00 PM Brazil time (I live in São Paulo). The real time for the meeting should be 27/06 at 12:00, Spain time, that would correspond to 27/06 at 7:00 AM, São Paulo time.  Because of this confusion I lost the meetin and can't understand why the meeting had this 12 hour difference.
The person in Spain has copied her link to the meeting and sent to me.

Bellow screen showing the meeting sechedule as it appeared to me in Brazil and as it apears in Spain.

  

Thanks

Aloysio Junqueira

    Hi, @ajunqueira – Aloysio:

     

    This is a common confusion with time at midnight vs. noon. The screen shot you showed for the invitation says 12:00 am, which is midnight. With Sao Paulo being 5 hours earlier than Madrid, your meeting time should in fact be 7pm.

     

    I suspect the confusion is not on your part, but on the part of the meeting scheduler/host, who likely intended for the meeting to be at noon, not at midnight.  12:00 pm is noon, 12:00am is midnight.
