8:00 AM to 12:00 PM in Chicago is when Lagos is also working, at 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM their time. You get roughly 4 hours of shared time, so aim for the middle of that window to keep the call comfortable for both teams. Just remember Chicago changes its clocks for daylight saving and Lagos doesn't, so confirm the overlap whenever the seasons turn. To edit hours, add more timezones, and share with your team, create a free collaborative board.
