How to Show Multiple Clocks in Windows 11

Windows 11 allows showing multiple clocks in the taskbar’s notification center. Here is how to enable and show multiple clocks in Windows 11.

Windows 11 shows the current time and date on the taskbar by default. Generally, Windows 11 can automatically detect the date and time settings depending on the country you chose while installing or using the internet time feature. That being said, you can configure this clock to show the date and time from any place you want. You can even enable daylight saving, if available.

As most of you know, the default clock in Windows 11 appears on the rightmost side of the taskbar. If you open the Notification center, either by clicking on the date and time or pressing the “Start + N” shortcut, you will just see the long date above the calendar. Unlike Windows 10, you no longer see a long time above the calendar.

For a vast majority of users, seeing one clock is sufficient. After all, you can change this clock to any country or region you want with just a few clicks. However, what if you want to see multiple clocks in Windows 11? There are many reasons to show two or more clocks in Windows 11.

For example, maybe you are working with a client who lives in a different time zone or country, wants to attend an online conference in another country, constantly moving between time zones, etc. No matter the reason, Windows 11 supports showing multiple clocks. All you have to do is enable the additional clocks functionality, configure the date and time as needed, and then show them. It is pretty easy to show extra clocks in Windows 11.

So, without delay, this easy how-to guide will show the steps to show multiple clocks in Windows 11. Follow the guide closely, and you will have multiple clocks shown in the Windows 11 Notification Center.
