How to change your timezone for Teams

There are two ways to manage timezones within the Teams app. Your team has a default time zone, and every scheduled event also carries its own.

Updating the team time zone does not change the time zone on events that already exist, so you may need to edit those events separately.

Update your team time zone

The team time zone is the default for your team. This timezone is applied as the default for all new schedule events and will dictate the display of timestamps for features like emails and chat. To change the org timezone:

1. Log into the team mobile app.
2. Select your team.
3. Click on the ... action menu in the top right corner of the app.
4. Select Team Settings.
5. Update the Team Time Zone field
6. Click the check mark in the top right corner to save.

Why event time zones are separate

Each event in the Teams app has its own time zone. This gives teams the flexibility to play in events across time zones, such as a tournament in another region, without changing the time zone for the whole team.

This flexibility does mean that existing event time zones are not controlled by team settings. If you change the team time zone, review your scheduled existing events and update any that still show the old one.

Edit an event time zone within the Team Mobile App
