At a previous job, I used a tool that really gave a sense of presence that Zoom/Discord/Skype, etc, do not. I wish they had the right sort of payment model for it, but I'd look at Sococo (https://www.sococo.com/ https://www.sococo.com/). I think something like this would be key to feeling like you are talking to humans and not, well, playing a computer game. I've been looking for alternatives. There's one called Remo (https://remo.co/ https://remo.co/) that's similar, but seems to have a large group and tables for four people at the same time, so I don't think it'll fit your needs. This one (https://github.com/capnmidnight/lozya https://github.com/capnmidnight/lozya) just showed up here on HN the other day, and is a new project to add a sense of presence on top of Jitsi. There are also, apparently, Avatar Chat worlds, in 2D and 3D, and they might be worth trying, but it does look like it could really be distracting as it appears more game oriented than socialization oriented.
