So one thing that we do for our customers is book appointments for them. They come from all over the country and sometimes internationally, so we really need a way to change the time zone on our end. I couldn't seem to find this in your plug-in settings, but I see there is value in the database for the UTC time. Is there a way to make this display on the appointment page with every appointment, and also make it so we can change it if needed?
The timezone that you have in your WordPress General Settings applies to Amelia as well. So, you need to choose your City timezone there and this timezone will be applied to Amelia.
There is an option Show booking slots in client time zone in Amelia -> Settings -> General, and if you enable it, customers will see the available time slots of your employees in their timezone. You can read more about General settings in Amelia here and about the WordPress settings that applies to Amelia here.
Hope this helps!
If you have any further questions feel free to ask.
Right, I already know about that option. We need to be able to pick their time zone from the front-end because we book appointments for them and it looks like you can't do it from the backend. Also, there's no way to view the appointment time in their time zone from the backend. What I'm gathering is this is not a functionality the plug-in has and it would have to be custom added.

Hello Katherine
You are correct - something like this can't be done with the plugin's built-in features.
You would need to manually calculate the time difference, and add the time in back-end as your local time, so it matches their time.
Kind Regards,
