Best overlap: 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Montevideo is 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM in Auckland.
Keep meetings inside 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Montevideo — that maps to 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM in Auckland. Since Auckland is 15 hours ahead of Montevideo, the overlap is narrow (about 1 hour); a single, well-protected slot beats hunting for time each week. Don't get caught out: Auckland is the next day from Montevideo, so "tomorrow" means different things to each team. Finally, Auckland observes daylight saving and Montevideo doesn't, so this window shifts by an hour for part of the year — recheck it each spring and autumn.
