Accepted Answer

To schedule a meeting for attendees across the globe and display the timing in their local time, use a timezone conversion algorithm.

Store the timezone information of each attendee in the database or use a reliable timezone API to fetch the timezone dynamically.
Consider daylight saving time changes and adjust the meeting time accordingly.
Provide an option for attendees to set their preferred timezone or automatically detect their timezone based on their IP address.
Display the meeting time in a user-friendly format that includes the date, time, and timezone abbreviation (e.g., PST, EST, GMT).
