There is no standard 8-to-6 overlap. Someone joins early or late.
The 11-hour offset between Hong Kong and Rio de Janeiro means there's no point hunting for a 9-to-5 overlap — there isn't one. If you meet regularly, fix one off-hours slot and rotate it between Hong Kong and Rio de Janeiro so the burden doesn't fall on one team.
