<p>When arranging a meeting with a colleague in a different time zone many people will send an Outlook meeting request.</p><p>Time for items in the Outlook Calendar is stored based on Greenwich mean time (GMT) sometime also known as Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). When you book something in your Outlook calendar - you book it in a fixed point in time. If you are in one time zone and you send a meeting request to an attendee in a different time zone, the meeting item is displayed at different local times on each person's calendar but at the same absolute time in UTC.</p><p>According to the advice given by Microsoft three factors affect the scheduling of a meeting in Outlook: The computer's clock setting (time).The computer's local time zone setting, which consists of an offset value to Greenwich mean time (GMT).The computer's daylight-saving time adjustment setting.</p><p>All three factors must be correct on both the meeting requestor's computer and on each attendee's computer.
