Scheduling Recurring Events
Through Calendar, you can schedule recurring events and specify how often the event occurs and when the event ends. Depending on the option you select, more options become available.
When you open a recurring event that another user scheduled, the event details display the time and time zone for the user who scheduled the event. When you view the recurring event on your calendar, it displays at the time the event occurs in your time zone. For example, if you are on Eastern time and someone schedules an event at 11 AM/Pacific time, it displays at 8 AM on your calendar but at 11 AM/Pacific if you open the occurrence.
