Microsoft Teams: get timezone of user?
0
I'm developing a bot for MS Teams and I'm looking to know the timezone of a user, to deliver messages at an appropriate time (e.g. not in the middle of the night).
I didn't found something appropriate in the bot framework REST API. Although messages we receive include a 'clientInfo.country' property, which is a start, but definitely not enough to time messages as we would like.

On every message to a user, there is an entities collection, one of which is details of the user's locale. For example (copied/pasted from here):
"entities": [
"locale": "en-US",
"country": "US",
"platform": "Windows",
"timezone": "America/Los_Angeles",
"type": "clientInfo"
],

Can you describe more? How you are receiving the message (or equivalently what you are doing on the client to send it) and from what client?

It's an app published on the Office store. I am receiving the messages from the webhook. I'm not sending messages myself, I'm receiving them from people who installed the bot. Here's one example of data I receive (without timezone):"entities":["locale":"nb-NO","country":"NO","platform":"iOS","type":"clientInfo"]Here's another one:"entities":["locale":"de-DE","country":"DE","platform":"Windows","type":" clientInfo"]I checked a few of them, and none include the timezone property.

Meta: Stack Overflow doesn't use three backticks for code blocks. Use at least four spaces in front of the code (and a newline before the block) instead.

We are looking into this issue. For now, you can also use offset of localTimestamp and timestamp values.

And the answer is: there’s a localTimestamp property that can be used to get the time offset, which is good enough for what I need.
