Question 1

How do I find a time that works for multiple time zones?

Accepted Answer

Add each participant and set their working hours. The tool checks every 15-minute UTC slot of the day and finds the longest contiguous window where everyone is still inside their working hours. If that window is 0 there's no shared time at all — someone has to work out of hours or you split into two calls.

Question 2

How many time zones does Canada have?

Accepted Answer

Six: Pacific (Vancouver, Whitehorse), Mountain (Calgary, Edmonton), Central (Winnipeg, Regina), Eastern (Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa), Atlantic (Halifax, Moncton) and Newfoundland. Newfoundland is 30 minutes ahead of Atlantic — UTC−3:30 in winter, UTC−2:30 in summer — which is the only half-hour offset in North America. The grid draws Newfoundland correctly on a 15-minute step.

Question 3

Does Saskatchewan observe Daylight Saving Time?

Accepted Answer

Most of Saskatchewan does not observe DST; it stays on Central Standard Time (UTC−6) year-round. The exception is the city of Lloydminster and a handful of border communities that follow Alberta's schedule. For practical purposes, schedule meetings against Saskatoon/Regina as if they're permanently on CST — the rest of Central Canada will be on CDT for half the year.

Question 4

Does it handle half-hour and quarter-hour offsets?

Accepted Answer

Yes. India (+5:30), Iran (+3:30), Myanmar (+6:30), Newfoundland (−3:30), Darwin (+9:30), Adelaide (+9:30/+10:30), Nepal (+5:45) and the Chatham Islands (+12:45) all render on the grid correctly. The internal algorithm steps every 15 minutes, not every hour, so these don't drift.

Question 5

Can I share the overlap view with my team?

Accepted Answer

Yes — hit Share and the URL contains everyone's zones and working hours. Paste it into Slack, email or Teams and recipients open the same view. The preview card shows the shared-window summary so people can scan the trade-off before clicking.

Question 6

Is this tool free to use?
