Our company has a daily meeting for the team. On paper, it's to talk about what we did yesterday and what we're doing today. And we do that. But we're allowed to take as much time beyond that as we like to socialize. We talk about tv, movies, games, sports, whatever.

Without this, I think I would be a lot worse off in this crisis, and I'm a pretty extreme introvert.

If I was in your situation and had to actually bug people to talk to them... Ugh. No way.

Have you asked others if they want to be on an 8 hr/day video call with you? Perhaps there are others that would prefer that, or would do it to help you.

I personally would not enjoy that, but if someone on my team needed it... I'd at least try to deal with it.

Alternatively, maybe you can find a few of them to do it for 2 hrs/day and take the edge off.

Yeah I tried the constant live streaming thing. It helped for a bit.
