How to Show Multiple Time Zones on Windows 11
Windows 11 lets you show up to two extra clocks on your taskbar so you can track time in different parts of the world at a glance. This feature helps you manage schedules across different regions and avoids missed meetings or late-night calls with friends and family.
You can set up these extra clocks in just a few clicks through the Date & time settings menu on your PC.
Go to Settings , then Time & language, and click Additional clocks to add up to two extra time zones. For more, open the Clock app and select World clock to add cities. You can then hover over your taskbar clock to see all added times.
Step 1Open Windows Settings
Opening the Settings app starts the process.
- Click the Start button (the Windows icon on the bottom left).
- Then, click Settings .
- Or, press the Win+I on your keyboard to open Settings quickly.
Step 2Go to Date & Time Settings
Inside Settings, click on Time & language on the left menu.
On the right, click the Date & time box.
Step 3Add Extra Clocks for Different Time Zones
Windows 11 permits adding up to two extra clocks directly within the Settings app. Different time zones appear quickly without requiring extra applications. Custom names like 'New York' or 'London' distinguish each location.

- Click Start, then search for and open the Clock app.
