When you have clients or friends from around the world, it becomes a challenge to arrange a meeting or effectively manage your time. This is where Outlook's capability to show 2 time zones in one calendar comes in handy.
By default, Microsoft Outlook displays calendars with only one time zone - the one you are currently in (
Fig. 1).

You always need to remember the time difference between the time zones and calculate when arranging a meeting with somebody from the other part of the world. Fortunately, you can add another time zone that will be displayed next the current one.
- Go to: Tools, Options, Calendar Options
- In the new window click Time Zone
- Check the option Show an additional time zone
- From the drop down list choose the time zone you want to be displayed as the second one (Fig.2) Fig.2. You can only add one additional time zone
- Close all the windows by confirming OK
Now, when you open Outlook calendar, you will see two time zones next to each other (
Fig.3). This way you can manage your time more efficiently and always know what is the current time in another time zone.
