Your time zone
How Coworkers know your time zone, and how to choose a different one.
Coworkers tell you times in your own time zone. When one reads your calendar or an inbox, or works out what "tomorrow at 9" means, it converts any time that a system reports in another zone (many report in UTC) before it tells you. It also knows today's date and the day of the week where you are.
Where it comes from#
By default Workforce Intelligence follows your browser. Your browser's time zone is picked up when you sign in and with each message you send in Chat, so the zone stays right when you travel. It is also remembered, so a Coworker working for you in the background, such as on a schedule, uses it too.
Choose a different zone#
- Open your profile menu and select Settings. My API keys is the page it opens on, and Time zone is on it.
- In Time zone, open the list and pick your zone.
A zone you choose stays until you change it, whatever your browser reports. To go back to following your browser, select Use my browser's time zone.
When a Coworker reads your Microsoft calendar, the event times come back in your time zone.
If no time zone is known for you, a Coworker shows times in UTC and may ask which zone you are in.
