Recently I was assigned a project team of five people. What really worked well for us was hanging out in a Discord Server most of the time during normal work hours, although everyone was muted.

If someone had a question or needed some collaboration input they would just unmute themselves and start talking. Usually a few seconds later others would also unmute and join the conversation. If more discussion was needed we would switch from our main channel to a private channel.

This setup worked really well for us and we liked the low friction way of quickly talking to someone without messaging them and setting up a call.
