Rotate the pain instead of repeating it
No better rotation was found than the fixed weekly time: the heaviest city still reaches 64 pts over 4 weeks. Use the fixed best window unless the team wants to alternate for etiquette.

Calendar-safe handoff
Planning guide
Need a checklist before inviting the team? Read the timezone meeting planning guide for overlap windows, shared calendar links, and daylight-saving-safe scheduling.
Base timezone
The calendar handoff uses Africa/Nouakchott as the base timezone. Keep the IANA zone with the invite so daylight saving changes are recalculated by the calendar, not guessed from a fixed offset.
Invite memo
Copy the meeting text before sending links. It gives attendees the local-time audit trail, offset labels, and work-hour warnings behind the selected instant.
Recurring meetings
For repeats, create the recurrence in your calendar with the same timezone and re-open this planner around DST boundaries to confirm the burden has not shifted unfairly.
Why teams switch
Not a timezone converter. A fair meeting decision engine.
Converters show clocks. Meeting Planner chooses the best window, explains who pays the inconvenience, rotates the burden over time, and hands off a calendar-safe invite.
Fairness + rotation + handoff
1. Fair decision
Pick the window that hurts the group least.
Compare candidate scores, see who falls outside working hours, and stop optimizing for only one office.
2. Recurring fairness
Rotate the pain instead of repeating it.
Plan a 4-week burden rotation so the same city does not keep paying the early-morning or late-night cost.
3. Actionable handoff
Turn the answer into something people can send.
Copy a team poll, share a prefilled link, or build a calendar-safe invite with named time zones and the checked date.
Quick answer
How to plan a fair, calendar-safe meeting across time zones
- 1. Choose citiesAdd every participant city or IANA time zone and set the real meeting date.
- 2. Compare fair scoreCheck which candidate windows balance normal working hours across the group.
- 3. Spot outside hoursSee who would be early, late, or on the wrong day before you confirm the time.
- 4. Copy or shareShare a prefilled planner link so teammates can review the same DST-aware view.
- 5. Create calendar inviteUse named time zones and the checked date to create a calendar-safe invite.
Scheduling FAQ
Time-zone meeting planner FAQ
How do I find a fair meeting time across time zones?
Choose the cities or IANA time zones, compare the fair score for candidate windows, then pick a time that keeps the burden away from the same participant every week.
What does the fair score show?
The fair score summarizes how well a proposed window fits local working hours across all selected cities, so you can quickly spot balanced times instead of optimizing for only one office.
How can I see who is outside working hours?
After selecting cities and a meeting date, review each local time row to identify participants who would be before or after normal working hours before you copy or send the invite.
Why do DST changes break recurring meetings?
Daylight saving time can change UTC offsets on different dates in different countries. Keep calendar invites tied to real IANA time zones, not fixed offsets, and re-check the meeting date.
Can I share a prefilled meeting planner link?
Yes. The planner accepts cities, time zone, and date query parameters for prefilled planning while the canonical page remains the clean /meeting URL.
How do I create a calendar-safe invite?
Copy the selected meeting details after checking the date, city list, and DST-aware local times, then create the calendar invite with named time zones so Google Calendar, Outlook, and ICS files do not drift.
