About GlobalMeetingTime
Scheduling across time zones shouldn't take a thread of messages. GlobalMeetingTime lets a group in different countries agree on a time with one shared link.
What is GlobalMeetingTime?
GlobalMeetingTime is a free web tool for scheduling a meeting across time zones. The organizer proposes a few candidate times and shares one link. Each participant sees every option converted to their own time zone and answers available, maybe, or unavailable. The results page tallies the answers, highlights the best match, and shows everyone's local hours side by side. It is built for remote teams, international clients, communities, and groups of friends who live in different countries. Nobody needs an account.

When it fits, and when another tool does
Use GlobalMeetingTime when a group needs to pick one time together and the people are in different time zones. It is a group poll that already shows each option in everyone's own local time, so nobody has to convert times by hand or create an account.
- For one-to-one booking pages that show your own calendar's free slots (the Calendly style), a booking-link tool is the better fit. GlobalMeetingTime does not read your calendar.
- General-purpose scheduling polls (Doodle, When2meet) are another option. GlobalMeetingTime is built around the time zone view: each person sees every option in their own time zone, with everyone's local hours side by side.
- For just converting the time between a few cities, a world clock or converter (World Time Buddy, Savvy Time) is enough, and GlobalMeetingTime has time difference pages for that too. It adds collecting everyone's answers.
How it works
- The organizer picks a few candidate times in their own time zone and creates the event.
- They share the link. Nobody needs an account.
- Each person opens the link, sees the times in their own time zone, and marks ○, △, or ×.
- The results page shows the tally, the best match, and everyone's local hours side by side.
- Add the final time to a calendar as an .ics file or with Google Calendar.
Principles
- No sign-up. Events are reached by a link; there are no accounts to create or manage.
- Time zones done right. Conversions use the IANA time zone database, so daylight saving changes are handled automatically.
- Light on data. We only keep what an event needs: the title, candidate times, and the names, cities, answers, and optional comments people enter.
