Apple:

System Settings > General > Date & Time > Set time and date automatically (on)

Settings > Time & Language > Date & Time > Sync Now

I can't hear the group timer alarm

We are currently working on improving the Group Pomodoro, and are aware of this issue - if your group pomodoro alarm is not sounding as you’re working, please reload the page if you are on browser or re-enter the Room to retrigger the alarm sound.
