By default Outlook 2016 displays only one time zone in the Calendar. The following article explains how to display two time zones in one calendar view.
When you have clients or friends from around the world it becomes a challenge to arrange a meeting or effectively manage your time. By default, Microsoft Outlook 2016 displays calendars with only one time zone - the one you are currently in.
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 to the current one.
- Go to: File, Options.
- In the new window click on the Calendar tab.
- Scroll down to the Time zones section.
- Check the Show a second time zone checkbox.
- Enter a Label name and from the drop-down menu choose the time zone you wish to be displayed along with the primary one.
- Close all the windows by confirming OK.
Now, when you open Outlook calendar, you will see two time zones next to each other. This way you can manage your time more efficiently and always know what is the current time in another time zone.
