About
Working across 4 hours of time difference
A 4 hours offset puts Los Angeles and Buenos Aires in the medium-difficulty band. You typically have a 2–4 hour window each day where both cities are at work — usually early afternoon in the western city, late morning or early afternoon in the eastern one. Keep recurring meetings inside that window.
Daylight Saving Time can shift the gap by an hour twice a year. The North American DST window does not align with the European one, so the offset between Los Angeles and Buenos Aires can drift in late March and again in early November. Use this page to re-check your standing meeting on each transition.
FAQ

Should we shift the meeting if one city changes Daylight Saving Time?

Can I schedule a daily standup that works for both Los Angeles and Buenos Aires?
