Amazon AppStream 2.0 enables automatic time zone redirection for enhanced user experience

Amazon AppStream 2.0 now allows end users to enable automatic time zone redirection for application and desktop streaming sessions. With this new capability, AppStream 2.0 streaming sessions will automatically adjust to match the time zone setting of the end user's client device. While end users can still manually configure regional preferences like time zone, language and input method based on their location. Automatic time zone redirection eliminates the need to manually configure time zone. By automatically redirecting the time zone, AppStream 2.0 provides an improved localized experience for end users. The streaming applications and desktops will now display the user's local time zone out of the box, without any manual configuration required. This helps create a more intuitive experience for users across different global locations. The time zone redirection works independently of the AWS region where the AppStream 2.0 fleet is deployed. This feature is available to all the customers using web browser to connect to AppStream 2.0 at no additional cost in all the AWS [Regions](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/regional-product-services/) where Amazon AppStream 2.0 is available.
