My company is a heavily remote company (1/4-1/3 of the company or so is remote), and one tool that has helped us massively is Sococo - it has a notion of virtual rooms and virtual conference rooms, so it makes it pretty painless to set up a meeting with the people needed that also supports screensharing and webcams.

I would agree. One of the things I felt when I first moved to working remotely was a sense of isolation due partly to losing the awareness of what other people or teams were working on that you have when working in an office due to just seeing them meeting or talking together. Sococo gives that back to you because you can see other people and teams meeting in the "virtual conference rooms". There's been more than one instance where I've dropped in on a meeting to assist with a production issue or a development question that came up because I could see those conversations were happening, something is more difficult if a chat tool such as Slack is your primary or sole form of communication.

sococo looks pretty cool, may I follow up with you about how you use it? I'm looking for a solution for my team.
