Hi, I have use case where I want a button to be visible at the start of a meeting…for example, if I have a start time of 17th Dec 2020, 2pm, then this button should only appear at this time. What is most accurate way to setup? Thanks ---

Using the visibility feature, and selecting the desired time as the base of your logic, you can choose to show it before that starting time, after, its on or before, etc ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/8/2/8254219b4b49d3251a61480d7348747dfd97072b.jpeg) Hope this helps ---

thanks @PabloMFalero how accurate is the timing? when we set for 2pm, will it occur at 2pm? or some lagging? ---

Should occur at that time, maybe a few seconds lagg, but nothing major. Haven’t tried myself, but I will and let you know ---

Hi, when we setup the start date and time in Glide, the system picks up our time zone from our computer or we need do some system setting? ---

It doesn’t. I’ve used simple math columns to calculate the other time zones. ---

It picks up the time from the device. ---

Does it?? Didn’t know that…So it picks up your location…? ---

Now and Today use the device time. If the date you are comparing to was set for a different timezone, you still have to do the conversion. ---
