User specific time zones

I work in a team spread across 4 different time zones. It would be helpful if each of us could have our local time zone associated with our HS profile and that would carry through when I'm scheduling activities or assigning tasks.

Please add this feature to allow each user the ability to change their timezone.    It doesn't make sense for HubSpot to allow a user to sync their calendar and yet their timezone is off by several hours especially when we encourage our users to use HubSpot as their primary app.   It is very confusing to the user.

Shocked that this isn't already possible! This is such a basic feature, of course now we're going to have to buy another tool like Calendly to be able to do something so basic...

Just had one of our AE's move from the US to Europe and the team Round Robin link availability went bonkers after they updated their new time zone. It extended the team's availability to 4AM to 9PM EST, so our reps in the US started getting meetings being booked in at crazy hours. Unfortunately the "Working hours" settings in Google Calendar doesn't sync over to HubSpot, so after talking to HS support, the suggested action was to have reps create events to "block" out the times they don't want to be available for the RR meeting link to take it into account. They're not happy about that because now their calendars look cluttered with large blocked out events, but it fixed the issue at least in the short term. This is definately something that I also cannot believe hasn't been implemented, or, at the very least, have the blocked out working hours that were set inside Google Calendar or other apps sync over so that the RR links recognize reps are not available at those times, instead of havind to ask them to create large blocks of meetings over those "greyed out" times they had already set up.

I'm learning today that the "round robin" meeting links aren't actualy proper round robin functionality. So disappointing.  It's 2022 and the world is virtual. Cheap calendar tools have this but Hubspot just named a meeting link Round Robin when it's not real round robin. Or it is but needs a big giant asterick next to it's name.

Hey @glencornell how did the product review for this feature go? Hoping to get an update on where this got to. Thanks

I haven't heard anything. As far as I know, nothing has changed.

Any update on this. We've all been asking this for over a year

It's absolutely astonishing that there is no capability for users to set their own time zones and they have to use the time zone of their head office. What year is this, 2005?

There is another much older post on this topic with hundreds of upvotes. It's surprising HubSpot hasn't done anything.

Any updates on this? We have sales team members across the U.S. and it is a hassle for them to not be able to set their own timezone.

@glencornell any updates? Looks like this has been under review for almost 2.5 yrs. We spend a decent chunk of change with you guys. Love the platform but this is creating scheduling issues with some of our team and if we can't rectify it we'll have to consider other options.

Upvoted. We're sat across multiple timezones. Would like to use this to our advantage by offering contacts a greater range of times they can meet with us. Right now I'm blocking out calendars to facilitate. This **bleep** as it blocks out and confuses the calendar for times when we might want other meetings to take place

Adding my support. I recently moved to a different time zone than my organization, and I'd love to be able to change the time zone to PST.

Unfortunately this is a dealbreaker for us.

Must have for "Enterprise" tier, and probably necessary for all accounts these days where dispersed teams are becoming the norm.

I was about to enter this idea in. We need this and have teams globally. This would be very helpful for Sales working outside of our account time zone.
