Free Team Meeting Time Zone Planner — Find the Perfect Overlap
Scheduling a meeting across time zones is one of the most frustrating parts of remote and international work. What is 9am in Toronto is 2pm in London, 5pm in Nairobi, and 10pm in Singapore. Without a visual tool, someone always ends up with a meeting at an unreasonable hour — and that someone is often the person who didn’t speak up in time.
MetricSuite’s free Team Meeting Time Zone Planner solves this instantly. Select up to six cities from 34 global locations, pick your meeting date, and the tool highlights every hour of the day with colour-coded availability — green for business hours, yellow for early mornings and evenings, grey for nights. The best meeting windows are ranked automatically so you can share them with your team in seconds.
How to Use the Meeting Time Zone Planner
The planner is designed to give you an answer in under 30 seconds. Here’s how to get the most out of it:
Pick Your Meeting Date
Use the date picker to select today, tomorrow, or any future date. Click the Today or Tomorrow shortcut buttons for quick access. The live UTC clock at the top updates every second.
Select Up to 6 Cities
Choose the cities where your team members are located from the dropdown menus. The tool shows each city’s current local time and UTC offset instantly below the selector.
Read the Colour-Coded Timeline
The 24-hour grid shows every hour of the day for each city, colour-coded by availability. Green means standard business hours. Yellow means early morning or evening. Grey means night or sleeping hours.
Check the Recommended Windows
Below the timeline, the tool automatically scores every UTC hour and surfaces the top six meeting windows ranked from Best to Difficult — with each city’s local time shown for that slot.
Copy & Share
Click Copy Meeting Times to get a formatted summary you can paste directly into Slack, email, or WhatsApp. Your team sees every city’s local time for each recommended slot — no confusion.
Pro Tip
If you find no green overlap exists, the tool will tell you honestly. In that case, look for yellow-yellow combinations — two people in early morning and evening is far better than someone in the middle of the night.
