This reminds me of how I used to use Teamspeak with a gaming organisation I used to be part of. It was a completely different dynamic than a video call. You could "hang out" in a room, chime in when you wanted, say nothing when you wanted. It was a lot more like working separately but with physical proximity to one another. I'm optimistic that, applied to a work context and with the same norms, this could go a long way to recreating the social connection of workspaces.

Share your screen and pair program on it. It made working from home a little less solo. You could come and go on the call as you wished it wasn't really required unless it was a team call where certain topics were being discussed that should have everyone (or nearly everyone).
