How to improve communication with coworkers during social distancing

When you are around other people, you get a lot of information about their feelings and motivations. You see the smile in their eyes and mouth as they make requests and give you feedback. You hear their tone of voice as they respond to questions. In real conversation, the feedback you get is immediate. People are nodding along as you speak. You ask a question, and they respond immediately.

You can't see them all on the phone. And a query you send out by email might take hours (or even days) to elicit a response.
