I think it varies on the organization and individuals. For me, "shared context" is a general feeling that people can ask questions and ask for help and can expect to get a productive response in a reasonably timely manner. Organizations have absolutely managed to establish that online using tools like video conferencing (as you mention). For me though, I find relying heavily on asynchronous communications insufficient, and synchronous remote communications deeply frustrating (i.e., natural turn-taking cues aren't present in video calls). I end up feeling disconnected from the people I work remotely with, even though they didn't do anything wrong. I can only establish "shared context" with people who have spent enough time with me in the same space with ample frictionless face-to-face conversations.
