Team can be distributed or not, every time someone is on outside they are missing non-verbal communications. What I read in the article are a bunch of crutches and to seriously fix this make everyone remote, even if in the same office. Or make meetings onsite. Everything else will seriously undermine good fabric of the meeting, so sit back at your machines and be remote. Granted, sometimes people are sick and can't attend of whatever reason meatspace meets - same holds, they will be excluded from some communication. my 2c.
