Incorrect Time Zone used in Calendar
Describe the bug I am in the Eastern time zone (GMT-5) and have system settings configured as such, but the Teams calendar is showing events using Central (GMT-6). See below screen shot showing Teams indicating the current time (red line) is an hour earlier than local time (lower-right corner).
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Open calendar
- Note that events are shown an hour earlier than local time.
Expected behavior Calendar should use the system timezone.
Desktop (please complete the following information):
- OS: Zorin OS 17
- Flatpak: com.github.IsmaelMartinez.teams_for_linux
- Version 1.4.1
Hi, can you check if this is the same situation on the browser? thanks

Looks like my browser is reporting the correct time:
sorry, I mean login in MS teams via the browser and checking if the calendar shows the same.
Also check other packaging options (deb, rpm tend to work a wee bit better).
Oh, got it. Yes, the time in the Web-based version of Teams is correct.
EDIT: And yes! Using the .deb from the TFL repo addressed the issue. I'm afraid I don't know enough about flatpak to understand why that version behaved that way...
did you try with another package? that looks/sounds like a flatpak configuration shenanigans
@hoppersoft can you try installing the browser through flatpak and see if the problem present. Make sure you're trying, google-chrome, chromium, or brave etc. Because electron and these uses the same thing. If it is related to sandboxing, we'll ask the same to flatpak team.
FWIW this is a long standing issue for Electron and not this particular app. The solution is to add the TZ variable before launching the app, e.g.:
TZ="Europe/Rome" yarn start
