Have you ever needed to coordinate a conference call, online chat, or Skype session with people in multiple time zones?  It’s a pain to calculate all the local times for everybody, especially with all that stuff related to daylight savings time.  And forget about it if someone wants to change the time!

It’s now so easy to deal with this situation with Presdo.

In the time editor, there’s a new checkbox called “Show local times to guests”.  Take a look:

Turn it on, and it shows you and your guests the local times happening for all guests for the event.

Let’s say you are on the west coast of the US, your friend Harry is in Paris, and Sally is in Hong Kong.  You want to schedule a conference call with them next Tuesday.  Here’s what enabling the checkbox would make the time of the event look like for you:

(6am is early, we know!)  And here’s what it would look like to Harry:

You get the idea!  Presdo shows the local times for you and everyone else involved in this event so you don’t have to do the math, and no one can complain they missed it by one hour!

Local times for guests can only be shown after they have been onto Presdo.  (You’ll see a message if some guests are new.)

So, do your part and invite them to that important meeting of yours using Presdo!
