I work remotely and use this for a business n a different lime zone. Can we have the time zone list simplified? I dont need every city listed at -4.00 I just need EST. Its obnoxious to have to scroll through all of those. ---

@Booking Thank you for taking time to share your thoughts with us! I see your point. If this idea is going to gain ground, we’ll try to think in this direction in our future updates 🙂 ---

Echoing this – when you’re a company serving customers in multiple time zones, it’s terrible UX to make _them_ calculate local time for our presentations. We need the displays to read “Eastern” or “EST/EDT,” not numbers that no one uses. ---

Adding clarification – I’m realizing that with the settings I have, users will see the events in local time – it would still be nice to have the option to display the time zone with the local time. For instance, some of our events are “lunch and learn” trainings – which may not make sense if we’re showing a “local” time of 9 or 3. ---

Hi there, @Robert_Notske 👋 Many thanks for the feedback! We’ll have in mind the idea about showing EST as an event time zone. Regarding the events displayed in the visitor’s time zone, you can disable this feature on the Settings tab of your widget’s settings 🙂 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/elfsight/original/3X/9/2/9260b1e43667e45a373e1b488b954efc13b1a94a.png) ---
