Not really, but you have to become good at written communication. Which has a lot of benefits beyond the immediate one.
In companies where everything happens by people huddling together real-time, the result is (nearly always) that nothing is documented, which leads to disaster longer term.
I've loved working on projects where the team is globally distributed so that there is activity 24hrs and you work with people with zero overlap on working hours.
Instead of relying on ephemeral hallway conversations, you need to build a culture of updating tickets with informative content, documenting plans, and so on. This fill the immediate need of daily communication but more importantly now you have everything documented and a paper trail of every decision and bug fix which is incredibly valuable.
