When collaborating with people in another time zone, you often need to
|
{!global-times-intro.md!}
|
||||||
express a specific time clearly. Rather than typing out your time zone
|
|
||||||
and having everyone translate the time in their heads, in Zulip, you
|
|
||||||
can mention a time, and it'll be displayed to each user in their own
|
|
||||||
time zone (just like the timestamps on Zulip messages).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
A date picker will appear once you type `<time`.

Our next meeting is scheduled for <time:2020-05-28T13:30:00+05:30>

A person in San Francisco will see:

|
|
||||||
> Our next meeting is scheduled for *Thu, May 28 2020, 1:00 AM*.

While someone in India will see:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
> Our next meeting is scheduled for *Thu, May 28 2020, 1:30 PM*.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You can also use other formats such as UNIX timestamps or human readable
|
|
||||||
dates, for example, `<time:May 28 2020, 1:30 PM IST>`.
