About the Sydney-São Paulo gap
Sydney sits in the Australia/Sydney time zone (UTC+10), while São Paulo uses America/Sao_Paulo (UTC−3). That puts São Paulo 13 hours behind of Sydney right now.
These two cities do not handle daylight saving the same way, one adjusts its clocks seasonally and the other does not. The difference between them therefore moves by an hour twice a year, which is a common cause of missed meetings. The clocks above always show the live position rather than an assumed offset.
Standard working hours in these two cities do not overlap at all, so any live meeting requires someone to move outside 09:00-17:00. The table above marks the hours when both parties are at least likely to be awake.
