Aim for 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM Chicago time — that's 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM over in Riyadh. There's just 2 hours of overlap here, so don't leave meetings to chance — lock 8:00 AM in Chicago / 4:00 PM in Riyadh into the calendar. Remember that Chicago shifts for daylight saving and Riyadh doesn't, so recalculate the overlap after each clock change. To edit hours, add more timezones, and share with your team, create a free collaborative board.
