Paris and New York time difference

How to find the best meeting time across time zones

1. Add the cities of everyone in the meeting. Type a city, a country or a zone abbreviation such as PST, CET, IST or JST, or click any spot on the map.
2. Put your own city first — the planner follows its clock — and pick the date. Daylight saving time is applied for that date automatically.
3. Read across a column: green hours are working hours, amber is early morning or evening, dark is night.
4. Choose the meeting length. Best times to meet lists the three slots that keep everyone out of the night and as many people as possible inside working hours.
5. Click a slot, then copy the times for your invite or add the meeting to Google Calendar or Outlook — each attendee's calendar shows it in their own time zone.

Overlapping working hours

Two cities share working hours when 9:00–17:00 in one falls partly inside 9:00–17:00 in the other. New York and London overlap for about three hours each morning in New York; New York and Tokyo do not overlap at all, so one side always joins early or late. The planner shows the exact overlap for your cities and your date, and you can change the working day to match your team — for example 8:00–16:00 or 10:00–19:00.

Daylight saving time

The gap between two cities is not fixed. The United States and Europe change their clocks on different weekends, so for a few weeks each spring and autumn the difference between New York and London is four hours instead of five. Southern-hemisphere cities such as Sydney and Santiago move their clocks in the opposite season, and many places — Tokyo, Beijing, Mumbai, Phoenix, Dubai — never change at all. The planner shows the offset for the exact date you pick and warns you when a clock change is coming up in the next few weeks.

Tips for meetings across time zones

• Share the pain. If there is no overlap, rotate between an early slot and a late slot so the same people are not always on the night shift.
• Watch the date line. A Monday-morning call in Sydney is Sunday afternoon in California. The planner flags rows on a different day with +1 day or −1 day.
• Mind half-hour zones. India (UTC+5:30), Newfoundland (UTC−3:30) and Nepal (UTC+5:45) are not on the hour; the planner shows minutes where they apply.
• Send times in everyone's zone. Copy times lists the meeting in every city, so nobody has to convert.
• Keep it short when it is late. If someone joins outside their working day, a 30-minute meeting is much easier to accept than an hour.

You can add more than 100 built-in cities instantly, search any place worldwide, or click anywhere on the map; the time zone is looked up automatically.

How do I send the meeting to others?
