About Team2meet

Why it exists

Coordinating meetings across time zones is one of the recurring frictions in modern project work. Team2meet provides a fast, free, no-sign-up way for groups to converge on a meeting time without exchanging dozens of emails.

The tool grew out of work by FUSB Lab (Futures of Systems, People and Projects) at Leeds Beckett University.

How it works

1. The organiser picks dates, a daily time-window, and a time zone.
2. The tool builds a single share URL that contains the meeting state.
3. Participants open the URL, choose their viewing time zone, and mark their availability.
4. When a participant saves, the URL is updated to include their response.
5. The participant sends the updated URL back to the organiser, who merges responses.

This design avoids any server dependency. Hostinger or any static hosting tier is sufficient.

Time zone handling

Time zones use the IANA Time Zone Database identifiers (for example Europe/London), via the browser's standard Intl.DateTimeFormat API. Daylight saving transitions are handled correctly because the offsets are computed at the meeting instant, not assumed in advance.

Roadmap

• Optional sync backend (PHP and MySQL) for teams that want a single canonical link.
• iCal and Google Calendar export of the chosen time.
• Web Push reminders for confirmed times.
