On our platform, time zones are displayed using the capital cities of the respective countries. By default, the time zone corresponding to your billing country is selected. You can find the time zone drop-down menu on the far right of the top banner. The current time in the selected time zone is displayed directly to the left of it. ![](https://helpdesk.yoummday.com/hs-fs/hubfs/grafik-png-Feb-26-2024-12-12-27-9080-PM.png?width=428&height=179&name=grafik-png-Feb-26-2024-12-12-27-9080-PM.png) To change your time zone: 1. Click the drop-down menu. 2. Select the city that corresponds to your correct time zone. ![](https://helpdesk.yoummday.com/hs-fs/hubfs/grafik-png-Feb-26-2024-12-12-48-0228-PM.png?width=436&height=487&name=grafik-png-Feb-26-2024-12-12-48-0228-PM.png) The page will automatically reload, and the time displayed in your Talent Dashboard will be adjusted to your local time.   ![](https://helpdesk.yoummday.com/hs-fs/hubfs/grafik-png-Feb-26-2024-12-13-06-6275-PM.png?width=571&height=178&name=grafik-png-Feb-26-2024-12-13-06-6275-PM.png) As a result, **all relevant times on the platform will be converted to your selected time zone**. ### Where is the selected time zone used? Our platform is used by talents from all around the world. To ensure a smooth experience, it is important to select the correct time zone from the start. The selected time zone primarily affects the following areas on the platform: - **The time displayed in the banner** - **The scheduled time of address verification appointments** - **Your shift schedules** **Important:** Always make sure your time zone is set correctly when booking an address verification appointment or a shift, as all displayed times are based on your selected time zone.     - [About yoummday](https://helpdesk.yoummday.com/en/knowledge/about-yoummday?hsLang=en#main-content) - [General](https://helpdesk.yoummday.com/en/knowledge/about-yoummday?hsLang=en#general) - [Community](https://helpdesk.yoummday.com/en/knowledge/about-yoummday?hsLang=en#community) - [Referral program](https://helpdesk.yoummday.com/en/knowledge/about-yoummday?hsLang=en#referral-program) - [Registration & Setup](https://helpdesk.yoummday.com/en/knowledge/registration-setup?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Sign-Up Process](https://helpdesk.yoummday.com/en/knowledge/registration-setup?hsLang=en#sign-up-process) - [Dashboard set up](https://helpdesk.yoummday.com/en/knowledge/registration-setup?hsLang=en#dashboard-set-up) - [Complete my profile](https://helpdesk.yoummday.com/en/knowledge/registration-setup?hsLang=en#complete-my-profile) - [System](https://helpdesk.yoummday.com/en/knowledge/system?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Phone system](https://helpdesk.yoummday.com/en/knowledge/system?hsLang=en#phone-system) - [Login](https://helpdesk.yoummday.com/en/knowledge/system?hsLang=en#login) - [edYoucation](https://helpdesk.yoummday.com/en/knowledge/system?hsLang=en#edyoucation) - [Chatbot](https://helpdesk.yoummday.com/en/knowledge/system?hsLang=en#chatbot) - [IGEL](https://helpdesk.yoummday.com/en/knowledge/system?hsLang=en#igel) - [Security](https://helpdesk.yoummday.com/en/knowledge/system?hsLang=en#security) - [Projects](https://helpdesk.yoummday.com/en/knowledge/projects?hsLang=en#main-content) - [General](https://helpdesk.yoummday.com/en/knowledge/projects?hsLang=en#general) - [Application](https://helpdesk.yoummday.com/en/knowledge/projects?hsLang=en#application) - [Organization](https://helpdesk.yoummday.com/en/knowledge/projects?hsLang=en#organization) - [Communication](https://helpdesk.yoummday.com/en/knowledge/projects?hsLang=en#communication) - [Payment & Invoice](https://helpdesk.yoummday.com/en/knowledge/payment-invoice?hsLang=en) - [Instructions](https://helpdesk.yoummday.com/en/knowledge/instructions?hsLang=en) - [Glossary](https://helpdesk.yoummday.com/en/knowledge/glossary?hsLang=en) - [GTC for Contests & Events](https://helpdesk.yoummday.com/en/knowledge/gtc-for-contests-events?hsLang=en) [![yoummday\_durchsichtiger hintergrund](https://helpdesk.yoummday.com/hs-fs/hubfs/yoummday_durchsichtiger%20hintergrund.png?width=200&height=100&name=yoummday_durchsichtiger%20hintergrund.png "yoummday_durchsichtiger hintergrund")](https://join.yoummday.com/en) Copyright © 2026, Yoummday GmbH
