We can always test the limits : forum online drinks?

We did virtual pub on weds night instead of manchester weds night ride, great success

Have done a couple of 'virtual beers' now using the free options in Skype*, one as a group of four and one as a group of eight (I think it lets you go up to fifty?). Both worked seamlessly for c.2hrs in regards to audio and video across all of us, even with a mix of phones and laptops.
It's obviously not the same as being in the same room, but it's a far better compromise than you'd think and does feel like you've had a good catch-up and as you've said it just seemed to work - as and when we're finally on the other side of this I can see this sort of thing being more popular rather than loads of little WhatsApp one-liners etc.
- Also had a catch up with my brother and parents via WhatsApp video, which is limited to just four participants but again worked seamlessly.

This evening me and a few buddies (four of us total - which might be the limit for it to work) arranged some drinks over a google hangout. I must say, it worked WAY better than I thought it would. A good couple of hours that flew by. Planning to make it a weekly landmark. Forget any concerns based on how shit and awkward work ones are. It helped that the audio quality was almost consistently perfect, but the chat did just seem to work. Give it a go.
