  • We’re having an issue on every site of ours I’ve checked that runs the plugin where, when the iCal file is imported into Microsoft Outlook, the event’s start and end times are one hour later than what they should be.

    I checked the iCal file and the time zone and time code seem to be correct, so I think it’s an issue with how Microsoft Outlook is interpreting the time zones and possibly daylight savings time. Changing the time zone that is set in the event post from America/New York to America/Los Angeles moves the incorrect event time forward 3 hours as expected. I did notice that if the time zone for the event is set to UTC+0, the time is correct when imported into Outlook.

    This is happening both in the Twenty Fourteen theme with The Events Calendar being the only plugin activated and in custom themes with many plugins and Events Calendar add-ons. We’re experiencing this on both single event and multiple event iCal files. And since the issue was originally reported by a client, I know it’s not just a problem with how our Outlook is set up.

    I saw a lot of issues with iCal exported times when I searched your support forums, but none seemed to match up exactly. I also saw a couple issues reported on general iCal/Outlook compatibility in regard to time zones in Google searches.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks for reporting this, @Jay—sorry for the trouble here!

    Two things stand out to me about your issues. First is what you said here:

    I checked the iCal file and the time zone and time code seem to be correct, so I think it’s an issue with how Microsoft Outlook is interpreting the time zones and possibly daylight savings time.

    If our generated time zones are correct, and Outlook is getting the timing wrong a bit, then unfortunately it may indeed be an Outlook issue that we (and you) are at the mercy of. 🙁

    However, this is interesting:

    Changing the time zone that is set in the event post from America/New York to America/Los Angeles moves the incorrect event time forward 3 hours as expected. I did notice that if the time zone for the event is set to UTC+0, the time is correct when imported into Outlook.

    What happens with events when you use their UTC numerical equivalents? So, in other words, for example
    • Do a test import where the events are using the timezone America/New York.
    • Then do a test import where the events are using the timezone UTC-5.

    Is there any difference in behavior in this specific testing?

    Thank you!
    George

    Thank you so much for your testing here.

    What you wrote here is unfortunately not possible at this time:

    Is it possible for the calendar on the site to use America/New_York but have the iCal files generate with the appropriate UTC+0 timestamps?

    However, I wanted to confirm that this appears to be the bug:

    So I think Outlook is having trouble applying Daylight Savings Time to the “America/New_York” time zone ID.

    We’ve confirmed that this is a bug and have a fix coming out in the next maintenance release that SHOULD address this. That update should be published in the next two weeks.

    I’m sorry about the timeline here but just wanted to share that our own testing yields similar results to your testing. We’re working on a fix here and it should do the job.

    Daylight Savings Time strikes again!

    Thank you for your patience here, @Jay. Stay tuned for that next update and let me know any other thoughts/questions you might have here in the meantime.

    Sincerely,
    George

Time Zones is not an easy topic. It is quite easy to get lost in a long list of different time zones while scheduling a meeting or joining a one. Luckily for every one of us, modern technologies make scheduling meetings in different time zones in Outlook much easier. Still, some may get a bit confused.

For your information: in this article, we explain how time zones work in Outlook using the latest and greatest version of Outlook by the time of writing the article (Outlook 2019, part of the Office 365 subscription). Although interfaces may be a bit different, the basic idea remains the same for former Outlook releases, e.g. Outlook 2016, 2013, 2010, or 2007.

Does Office Outlook Adjust Time Zones?

Yes, it does. In case you wonder how Outlook converts time zones for meetings, here is a simple and brief explanation:

All the meetings time is stored in a GMT format (Greenwich Mean Time). When you open Outlook, create the appointment, receive an invitation, or do literally anything with your Calendar, the app checks your computer time zone and automatically converts time. That simple. Probably, you can already guess that changing the system’s time zone will automatically change the time zone in Outlook.

How to Change the Time Zone in Outlook?

If you are the type of person who travels a lot, you probably often find yourself in need to adjust time zones and make sure all your meetings are up to date with your current time zone. Although our smartphones nowadays can automatically detect and change the time zone, you may find it necessary to change the Outlook time zone manually. It is not difficult and takes only a few clicks to do.

  1. Launch Outlook and go to settings in the menu File – Options. No need to switch to the Calendar view.
  2. Go to the Calendar section Scroll down a bit and find the Time Zones section. Select the time zone you need from the Time zone drop-down list. For your convenience, create a label for it.
  3. Hit Ok.

Important: when you change the time zone in Outlook, the app automatically changes the system’s time zone and all the apps that use system date and time. Due to this fact, you may find no need to change the Outlook time zone at all. If your computer is set to automatic time zone change, it will automatically adjust the Outlook time zone for you.

If you want to avoid manual time zone adjusting, you can tell Windows to do all the job for you. All you need to do is to enable automatic time zone detection in the Windows Settings. Here is how you can do this:

  1. On your keyboard, press Win + I to launch Windows Settings.
  2. Go to Time and Language – Date and time.
  3. Enable Set time zone automatically.

How to Add an Additional Time Zone in Outlook Calendar?

Additional time zones in Outlook can make your life significantly easier. Add an additional time zone or two and you will forget the pain of googling different time zones and converting time using calculators.

Outlook For Mac Daylight Savings Time
  1. Just like with changing time zone in Outlook, go to File – Options – Calendar.
  2. Scroll down and locate the Time Zones section. Place a checkmark next to the Show a second time zone.
  3. Select the time zone you need from the Time zone list and create a label (not necessary).
  4. If you need a third time zone, just follow the same steps, and place a checkmark next to the Show a third time zone.

After you do this, Outlook Calendar will create an additional time converter line. It will help you to see at a glance what is the time you need in different time zones. Neat.

And one more thing: if there is a need to use an additional time zone as a primary one, simply go to the same Calendar options and hit Swap time zones in the Time Zone section.

How to add an additional time zone clock in Windows

Since we are talking about time zones, we need to mention another nice feature in Windows 10 that allows you to keep several clocks for different time zones. Here is how to add an additional time zone clock in Windows 10:

Outlook For Mac Daylight Savings Timer

  1. Go to Windows Settings using Win + I or any other shortcut you prefer. Open Time and Language – Date and time.
  2. In the right sidebar, click Add clocks for different time zones. This action launches a kind of old and outdated, yet still functioning section of the classic Control Panel.
  3. You can add up to two additional clocks for different time zones. Simply place a checkmark next to the Show this clock and select the time zone from the list. Give your clock a name so you know which time zone it represents when you open time and date flyout.
  4. Press Ok to apply the changes.

But wait, there is even more. As we told you before, the classic Control Panel is outdated and limited to two additional clocks. Some people may need three or even more additional clocks for different time zones. You can add them to the Start menu using the built-in Clock app.

  1. Launch Alarms and Clock app and go to the Clock tab.
  2. Find the city or time zone you need using the Plus button at the bottom of the window.
  3. Now, right-click the newly made clock and select Pin to Start. This will put a clock for the specified time zone on your Start menu so you can see the time when you open the menu.
  4. Here is how it looks:

That is it. Now the problem of navigating in the sea of time zones is gone for you.
