Get timezone of event start/end times. Not convert, not create, just... get.

Using GetEvents (or singular GetEvent) I only see start/stop times expressed in UTC, even when an event is created through outlook with specified timezones. Perfect example: flight departures and arrivals are often set with specified time zones for clarity. Using power automate, how can I get the timezone used for an event created in outlook?

    Not entirely correct....
     
    Yes - Outlook probably stores start/stop times in the backend in UTC.
    No - user's default timezone setting doesn't apply here.
     
    You can go into an event and specifically set timezones that are independent from a user's machine or default settings. This is ideal for things like flights that cross time zones, or for users who travel regularly across timezones. These values are persisted somewhere on the server, but they're not exposed in PowerAutomate as far as I can tell.
