## Viewing Time Zone

* This can be set as a fixed timezone and can also be dynamic. This allows you to force any timezone upon the events as they are provided to the calendar (which can also be dynamic)
* The easiest way to ensure an accurate timezone ID is used here would be to use the [**`Calendar Helper's`**](https://jared-gibb.gitbook.io/fullcalendar-plugin-suite/elements/calendar-helper) exposed data [`Timezone ID` ](https://jared-gibb.gitbook.io/fullcalendar-plugin-suite/elements/calendar-helper/exposed-data#browser-time-zone)
