Setting your timezone in Outlook Correctly

Hi All,

A number of students have had trouble with the Lab Calendars due to the fact that the timezone has defaulted to an incorrect value in their Outlook Online/Office 365 client.

Please check your settings as it makes a real mess in the Calendars.


Steps to check or set your timezone correctly.

Step 1.  Open your Office365/Outlook account.

Step2. Click on the "Cog" icon in the top right corner.

Step 3. Select the "Option" item from the menu.

Step 4. Select the "General" options set from the list on the left hand side of the screen.

Step 5. Select the "Region and time zone" item on the sub list.

Step 4.  Check or set the option in the "Current time zone" box at the bottom to "(UTC+10:00) Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney"

Step 5.  Click the "Save" option above the "Region and time zone" title.

You should now have the correct timezone set and your appointments should make sense in the lab calendars.
