When you create a new call, it is assigned the default Eastern Standard Time (EST) time zone.
You can choose to update this in the creation flow, or you can update this setting at any time to match your local time zone or your team’s preferred time zone. This ensures that all deadlines, submission windows, and automated communications align with the correct schedule for your event or process.
- Go to Calls and click the call you want to update.
- From the top bar, click Settings.
- Click Edit in the top-right corner.
- In the General section, locate the Time zone field. Type the name of the time zone you want to use, then click to select it from the list.
- Click Save to apply your changes.
