FAQs

Q1: Is the world clock live?
A: The timeline shows a specific instant. If you press Now and share, the link represents that instant. To plan “live” meetings, open the page and hit Now again before sharing.

Q2: Does it handle Daylight Saving Time (DST)?
A: Yes. Offsets are calculated with IANA time zones, so spring-forward/fall-back changes are reflected automatically.

Q3: Why is Greenwich/London the default base time zone?
A: London (Europe/London) is a practical default for GMT/BST planning and easy comparisons to global markets.

Q4: Can I use 24-hour time?
A: Yes — toggle the 24-hour switch.

Q5: How do I add a country instead of a city?
A: Type the country name (e.g., India, United Kingdom) — the tool maps it to the primary local zone automatically.

Q6: What’s in the minimal share view?
A: A clean, read-only table with just the times and a small link back to create your own world clock.

Q7: What happens if I clear cookies or site data?
A: Your saved preferences (stored locally) are removed, but shared links still work because the configuration is encoded in the URL.

Q8: Which time zones are supported?
