What Is Meeting Time Finder?

The Meeting Time Finder helps you schedule meetings across multiple timezones by identifying all time slots where participants' working hours overlap. Add multiple participants with their respective timezones and customizable working hour ranges, set the desired meeting duration, and the tool calculates every possible slot that fits within everyone's availability. Each result shows the local time for every participant, making it easy to propose meeting times that work for globally distributed teams. This eliminates the confusion and back-and-forth typically involved in cross-timezone scheduling.

Why Use Meeting Time Finder?

  • Finds all overlapping time slots automatically
  • Customizable working hours per participant
  • Meeting duration-aware (accounts for meeting length, not just start time)
  • Shows local time for each participant in results
  • Supports 12+ timezones covering all major business regions
  • No sign-up required — immediate results

Common Use Cases

Technical Guide

The algorithm checks every UTC hour (0-23) against each participant's working hours. For each UTC hour, it converts to each participant's local time using the Intl.DateTimeFormat API with the participant's IANA timezone. It then checks if the local hour falls within the participant's specified working range AND if the meeting duration fits before the end of working hours. A time slot is considered available only if ALL participants satisfy both conditions. The results show each participant's local time formatted in 12-hour notation with AM/PM. The meeting duration check prevents scheduling a 60-minute meeting at 4:30 PM when work ends at 5 PM.

Tips & Best Practices

  • 1
    Set realistic working hours — include buffer for lunch and focus time
  • 2
    If no slots are found, try extending working hours for one or more participants
  • 3
    The tool checks hourly slots — actual meeting start times can be refined within the hour
  • 4
    Consider rotating meeting times for recurring meetings to share the timezone burden
  • 5
    Use the World Clock to visualize current times before the meeting

Frequently Asked Questions

Q How does it handle Daylight Saving Time?
The tool uses the Intl.DateTimeFormat API with IANA timezones, which automatically accounts for DST on the reference date.
Q Can I add more than 2 participants?
Yes, you can add as many participants as needed. The more participants in different timezones, the fewer overlapping slots will be available.
Q What if no overlapping slots are found?
Try extending working hours for some participants, shortening the meeting duration, or considering split-timezone meetings where some participants join outside normal hours.
Q Does it account for meeting duration?
Yes, it ensures the full meeting duration fits within all participants' working hours, not just the start time.
Q Can I set different working hours per participant?
Yes, each participant has individual start and end hour settings to accommodate different schedules.
