  2. Add the cities you need to compare: Click + Add City and search for places like New York, London, or Dubai if you work across finance, consulting, tourism, or export logistics. Those cities are common scheduling partners for French teams, and adding them side by side helps you see whether a meeting lands in working hours or late evening.

  3. Select a time range on the grid: Drag across the 24-hour timeline to highlight a window in purple, then adjust it with the left and right handles if you want to fine-tune the meeting slot.

  4. Export the selected time: Use the export buttons that appear after selection—ICS download, Google Calendar, Gmail, Copy to clipboard, or Share link—to send the schedule to teammates or clients. This is practical for distributed teams, because an ICS file can place the meeting directly into everyone’s calendar in their own local time.
