Find a window for the whole meeting

On 3 November, New York’s 09:00 becomes 15:00 Berlin, leaving only two hours. A weekly slot can stay within the start-time limits while its duration stops fitting. Review the end time on every occurrence, especially if London or another European city joins.

Make the plan specific

  • Enter each participant’s actual working days and hours. The 09:00–17:00 examples here are editable assumptions, not local business-hour facts.
  • Choose a duration from 15 to 240 minutes and check both local end times.
  • For a weekly meeting, choose one anchor city and review all twelve dates. Resolve repeated or missing local times explicitly.

Reversing the base city changes how you enter the meeting, not the pair’s information page. Share the configuration or export the resolved event after the participants agree on the time.
