Timezone issues on countup

    I’m trying to use the timer to count up from a specific event that happened at a certain time (17:44 on 2021-03-21), this should be global with the same time shown to all users but the counter is changing based on the timezone of the page visitor.

    For me in the UK at 02:49 the timer is currently counting up with a value of 4 hrs, 5 mins, but for a user on the West Coast in the US the timer is counting down with a value of 10 hrs.

    Is there a way to make this a single global timer that displays the same countup time to all visitors?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Dear @spoonz,

    Can I clarify one thing so you want to count up calculate from the specific time zone, not for every country’s time zone?
    Am I right to understand your question?

    Ideally it would be a global timer that wasn’t impacted by timezones at all, so all users would see the exact same time regardless of the timezone they were viewing from. The count up is based on a specific event occurring so the timer is just a global count up from that event, regardless of world location and timezone.

    Dear @spoonz,

    Thank you for your information.
    Currently, we don’t have that functionality but I think it’s a great feature and we will do it in our upcoming updates.
