As the title said, how can I change the calendar to start on Monday instead of Sunday?

and can I remove the time zone of he embeded booking calendar? 

Hey @EnriqueBorja - great questions! 

Based on the invitee's location (determined via their IP address) the calendar can display with either Sunday or Monday as the first (left most) day of the week. This is done automatically and can not be manually adjusted.

IP addresses determined to be located in the countries on this list will have the calendar displayed as Sunday-first. All other counties not included on this list will display as Monday-first.

Sunday-first Country List:

  • US
  • Canada
  • Latin American countries
  • China
  • Japan
  • Israel
  • Jamaica
  • Taiwan
  • Thailand
  • Hong Kong
  • Macau
  • Egypt
  • South Africa
  • Philippines

I know this isn’t exactly what you hoped to hear and I’m sorry for any inconvenience, but hope the knowledge is helpful at least!

Regarding “removing the time zone from the embedded booking page” -  the time zone dropdown cannot be removed. This allows invitees to select the appropriate time zone if the one automatically detected isn’t the one they need to book in. If you’d like to force your own time zone (the one chosen in your event type settings) onto an event you’ll need to lock the time zone. We suggest this for in person events only. To learn how to lock a time zone read more below:

If you’re holding in-person meetings, you may want to lock an event type's time zone. This will ensure that invitees view the scheduling page in the time zone that the event will be taking place.

  1. From your Event Types page, select the event you would like to update.
  2. Expand the When can people book this event? section.
  3. Select Additional rules for your availability.
  4. At Time zone display, choose Lock the timezone.
  5. Select Save & Close.
