Multiple Time Zone Display in Outlook for Mac

Slipstick Systems

› Outlook › Mac › Multiple Time Zone Display in Outlook for Mac

Last reviewed on June 14, 2019     19 Comments

Applies to: Outlook 2016 (Mac)

An Outlook for Mac user wanted to know if it was possible to display multiple time zones in the Outlook Calendar, like you can in the Windows version.

Yes, you can now use multiple time zones in Outlook for Mac. Microsoft listens to user requests and adds the most popular suggestions, and as of December 2018, Outlook for Mac Version 16.20.0 (Build 18120801) Calendar supports three time zones.

To turn on multiple time zones from the calendar:

  1. Right-click on the time scale in the day or week views.
    right click on the time scale to add a second time zone
  2. Select the additional time zones and enter an short name for the zones
    add 3 time zones to Outlook for Mac
  3. Once you close the dialog, the second or third time zone will appear in the calendar
    three time zones

You can also enable or change the additional time zones in Outlook's Preferences, Calendar. Note that the default zone for new appointments has nothing to do with the default zone used in the time scale. If you want to change the primary time zone, you'll need to change the Time Zone on the Mac.
enabled 3 time zones in Outlook Preferences

Unlike in Outlook for Windows, you can't swap time zones. If you want to swap zones, you need to change the time zone on the Mac and change the secondary zone in Outlook.

Hello! Thanks for this, very helpful. Got it showing dual timezones down the side of the calendar on outlook for Mac.

Anyone know how to make the iPhone iOS show the same? iPhone 10s with Outlook 365 app.

Thank you!

Do you have a subscription version of office or the retail version? As far as I know, it is only in the subscription version.

I also don't have it in 16.16.15. I work remote so it would really help (I'm in California and my company is in Dallas). I don't know if this version of office is subscription or retail - it's whatever was on the laptop that the company sent me.

As far as I know, it is available for everyone, not just people on an insider build, but you could try the Insider slow option and see if it comes up.

I'm still 180409 and have the dual time zones in Day and Week view. It's possible it's a bug in the newer version.

I still have it here in build 16.13 (180401) - this is an insider build.

Yes, but I don't believe this works unless you have a Microsoft 365 subscription. Does anyone know if this will be rolled out to all users?

Yes, right now its definitely subscribers-only. I'm not expecting it to be added as a feature to the perpetual version until they release an Outlook 2019 for Mac. version.

BTW That version is from last summer - is there a reason why you haven't installed newer updates? Three time zones were added in December 2018, version 16.20.0 (Build 18120801), the current version is 16.26 (Build 19060901)
