When the gap changes

New York is 3 hours ahead of Los Angeles all year round.

Both change their clocks on the same dates (next on November 1 and March 14, 2027), so the gap does not move, even though the clocks do.

Making it work

With five hours in common, Los Angeles and New York can meet on almost any working day without anyone bending their hours. The morning in Los Angeles is the shared part.

The risk with a wide window is the opposite one: meetings spread across all of it and there is no shared hour left for focused work. Keep recurring calls at one end of it.
