Import Calendar Feed: Time Zone Issue

sushbug

Hello,

I'm trying to import my calendar feed onto my google calendar. When I add the calendar feed URL, the default time zone goes to (GMT+00) Coordinated Universal Time Zone which is 4 hours behind my actual time zone (GMT-04) - Eastern, Toronto Time Zone. I've tried changing the time zone via google calendar, to no avail...

Please advise on how this issue can be resolved? Thanks!

Hi Sushbug,

Yes, this is very unfortunate but Google Calendar forces calendars that do not have a time zone specified to GMT (the correct behavior is to use local time, naturally).

The workaround is to download the ICS file to your phone/computer, and import it into Calendar. Amazingly, when you use this process, it uses local time as it should.

But it's quite a bit of trouble for you as you will have to delete the calendar and re-import each time your schedule changes.

Dear Olivier,

Can you please add time zones to the medrez interface? No disrespect, but this has been an issue for the past 6 years. That should have been enough time to resolve this issue.

You're right EMR967, I shouldn't have let that go for so long. It's fixed now:
