## Mention a time
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When collaborating with people in another timezone, you often need to
|
||||||
|
express a specific time clearly. Rather than typing out your timezone
|
||||||
|
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
|
||||||
|
timezone (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*.

|
||||||
|

> Our next meeting is scheduled for *Thu, May 28 2020, 1:30 PM*.
