    "Chat transcript's time zone is always UTC."

    This is a joke, really ... it causes huge confusion in my clients, because they have to keep calculating the time according to the time zone, since everything is already set up correctly in my Zendesk Support ...

    We have had discussions since 2018 about the case and no official response from the company that would be the "best in the market"

    Setting a timezone per user is overly complicated when it's very simple to use the browser time/timezone as a reference in order to display a human friendly ticket timestamp. Any plan to support that? That would be one setting less, in a system that already has many.

    Both Julio and Etienne are making solid points. 

    Anything to add, Zenny Desk? Users don't want to 'configure a profile' to make a simple request, they're trying to engage with your users, us, not Zendesk itself.

    How can I get email threading to show in local time zone and not UTC?

    Hi Cassie!
     
    As per this article, being set in UTC is hardcoded in Zendesk.
