How to Change Discord Time Zone ( Windows & Mac )

Discord started out as a popular text and voice chat service for gamers, but it has become much more than that. It’s a popular place for people to meet because you can set up your own server with any theme or subject you want.

But things can get confusing if you run a server where people are from different time zones. This is especially true if your Discord time zone gets out of sync with the real world, which is rare but can happen. If this happens, you will have to make things right.

Here’s what you need to do to change the time zone on your Discord account.

If you use the Discord app, it will get the time zone from the computer’s operating system. In other words, if your time zone on Discord is wrong, it is because your computer’s time zone settings are wrong.
