Introduction
Zoom meeting times in BuddyBoss follow your site’s and device’s time zone settings rather than a separate Zoom-specific setting. By default, Zoom uses the time zone configured on your computer and adjusts meeting times you schedule accordingly. This guide explains how Zoom’s time zone logic works and where to adjust settings.
Core Information
- WordPress Time Zone: BuddyBoss inherits the site-wide time zone from Settings > General > Timezone.
- Zoom App Time Zone: Zoom’s desktop and web clients use your local computer or account time zone.
- Meeting Scheduling: When you schedule a meeting via the BuddyBoss Zoom integration, Zoom displays times in your local zone, even if the meeting is hosted elsewhere.

Troubleshooting and FAQs
Q: My meetings show the wrong time—what should I check?
A: Verify both your WordPress site time zone (under Settings > General) and your computer’s system time zone match your intended meeting zone.
Q: Why does Zoom shift my scheduled time when I travel?
A: Zoom recalculates meeting times based on the current time zone of your device. Always confirm the meeting slot after a time zone change.
Q: Will Daylight Saving Time be handled automatically?
A: Yes. Both WordPress and Zoom automatically adjust for DST based on the configured time zone.
