HI
I am not going crazy. I would not tell you one time and send another. I sent the invite for 10:00 a.m. tomorrow to 10:45 - 45 minutes (March 20) . Here is a screenshot of my TEAMS calendar and the invitation from my SENT items in Outlook and the time it was sent.
So should I be concerned? How could she get a different time? Is her time zone off on her computer?
I will let you figure it out. ☹

Full time
HI
I am not going crazy. I would not tell you one time and send another. I sent the invite for 10:00 a.m. tomorrow to 10:45 - 45 minutes (March 20) . Here is a screenshot of my TEAMS calendar and the invitation from my SENT items in Outlook and the time it was sent.
So should I be concerned? How could she get a different time? Is her time zone off on her computer?
I will let you figure it out. ☹
