If many events shift together, check the display time zone in Google Calendar. On the web, open Settings > General > Time zone > Primary time zone. In the Google Calendar app, open Menu > Settings > General and check Use device time zone. For one wrong meeting, compare its event time zone with the organizer’s intended time.
01Use the same event for each check
Section linkOpen an affected event on the web and in the Google Calendar app using the same account. Check an unrelated timed event as well. If both move together on one device, start with the display settings there. When a colleague in another city sees a different clock time for the same meeting, first compare the time zones shown on your calendars.
02Check the primary time zone on the web
Section linkOpen Google Calendar settings and go to General > Time zone. Choose the city or country you want under Primary time zone, then compare the affected event again. If you use a shared calendar, you can check its own time zone from Settings and sharing under My calendars. Only the calendar owner can change that calendar setting.
03Check the phone’s time zone setting
Section linkIn the Google Calendar app for Android or iPhone, open Menu > Settings > General. With Use device time zone on, the app follows the phone’s time zone as you travel. If you want the app to stay on a particular zone, turn that setting off and choose the zone in the app.
04Inspect an individual event
Section linkOn the web, open an event you can edit and select Edit. Look for Time zone next to the time. Compare the date, start time and zone with the invitation before saving changes. If someone else organized it, confirm the intended time with them. If a recurring meeting shifts near a daylight saving change, check an affected occurrence on the actual date with the organizer before changing the series.
