The ability to insert, delete, or alter time zones
Outlook's time zone settings are easily adjustable whenever you need them to be in sync with your location. Changing the time zone in Outlook is identical to doing so in the Windows Control Panel; the change is reflected in the time displays of all Microsoft Windows-based applications.
As soon as you alter the time zone in Outlook, the new time zone will be reflected in all Calendar views, and all Calendar items will be shifted to the new time.

Daylight saving time is not in effect in all time zones. Changing Outlook to a time zone that doesn't use daylight saving time, like Arizona in the United States, will result in the program refusing to adjust clocks ahead by an hour.

Recent releases of Outlook for Microsoft 365 have added the ability to view three different time zones in the Calendar.
You can see dual time zones in older versions of Outlook, such as Outlook 2019 Volume License, Outlook 2016, Outlook 2013, and Outlook 2010.
These time zones may include your own, that of another office, and that of a city to which you frequently travel. To clarify, the second and third time zones are only used to display a second and third time bar in Calendar view; they have no bearing on the storage or presentation of Calendar items.

Outlook saves start and end times in the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) format, an international time standard analogous to Greenwich Mean Time.
Meeting requests sent to recipients in different time zones will be displayed on their respective calendars at the appropriate local times while being stored in UTC.

If there are two different times displayed, the one chosen by the host of the meeting should be used. Inviting people from different time zones to a meeting is no problem; their availability will be displayed in your time zone, and their schedules will be automatically adjusted to accommodate their schedules. When viewing the calendar by day or week, only the second time zone will be displayed.
When you switch the current time zone, the new time zone is reflected in all Calendar views, and all events are shifted to reflect the new time. If you travel from the Pacific Time Zone in the United States to the Mountain Time Zone, all of your scheduled events will appear one hour later.

When coordinating with people in different time zones, it can be helpful to be able to add and view a second time zone in Outlook. To make the current time in the primary time zone more apparent, a color gradient is applied when a second time zone is added.
If more than one time zone is indicated, the one used by the meeting's organizer will be used as the standard. When you set up a meeting and invite people from different time zones, their availability will be reflected in the meeting based on their local time. Calendar views of a day or week are required to see the second time zone.
