A half-day gap can conceal an evening meeting
New York and Singapore are twelve hours apart on 27 October 2026. At 09:00 New York it is 21:00 Singapore. The similar clock digits can make the meeting look simpler than it is; the 24-hour display and availability labels reveal the evening cost.

Find a window for the whole meeting
On 3 November the gap grows to thirteen hours, so the New York 09:00 start becomes 22:00 Singapore. Illustrative 09:00–17:00 workdays do not overlap on either date. Decide on an explicit exception or an asynchronous handoff instead of treating the converted result as proof of availability.
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.
