Calendly Wrong Time Zone
Quick answer
Calendly confirms the time in the zone the invitee saw when booking. Wrong times usually come from a locked time zone on the event, an invitee VPN or device mismatch, or calendar invites defaulting to UTC.
Most likely fix: Unlock the time zone
How to fix it
Try these in order — the most common fix is first.
1. Unlock the time zone
- Open the event type and check whether the time zone is locked
- Lock settings are intended mainly for in-person events; turn it off for online meetings

- Ask the invitee to turn off their VPN
- On the booking page use the time zone picker before choosing a time
Did this fix it?3. Check your own settings
- Confirm your device, Calendly account and calendar all use the right zone
- Confirm each availability schedule's zone
Did this fix it?4. Read the confirmation, not the invite
- Calendly sends confirmations in the zone shown on the booking page at booking time
- If an invite shows UTC, check it in the invitee's calendar settings
