Time Zones in Microsoft Bookings

The meetings and calendar items in Bookings are responsive to the time zone settings on each user's end. For example, if User A has their time zone set to Eastern Time, the booking calendar will show available appointment times in Eastern Time. If User B has their time zone set to Pacific time, The booking calendar will show available appointment times in Pacific Time.


If you are noticing an issue with time zones when using Bookings, you will want to check your time zone settings. In some cases, your computer or your Office 365 may default to Pacific Time, regardless of your current location.




Check Your Time Zone When Booking a Meeting

By default, when you are booking a meeting, the available meeting times will show in your time zone. To confirm that your time zone is correct, click on the Time Zone button (globe icon) to confirm or change your time zone.




If you are repeatedly noticing a discrepancy with your time zone, check your system setting and, if you have a Lesley University account, your Office 365 settings.




Change the Time Zone on your Computer or Mobile Device

On most computers and mobile devices, your time zone is set automatically. However, you can manually change your time zone in your settings. 




Check your Time Zone Settings in Office 365

In some cases, your Office 365 account may default to Pacific time. To change it, go to https://lesley.edu/office365 and login in with your Lesley credentials. 


From the main Office 365 page, click on the Settings button (gear icon) button on the left-hand side of the page. 




This will open your O365 settings. In the Language and Time Zone area, click on the Change your language link.




This will open your Languages and Region settings. In the Region area, confirm your Regional format and your Time Zone.
