When you can't work in the same place together, open your recurring/team meetings a few minutes early for some casual water-cooler/coffee & donuts time. I can't take credit for the idea. We've been enjoying the social interactions while everyone is working from home. Personally, I greatly prefer co-location!
We've decided to stay for 30 mins more after our daily standup finishes for social interaction and possible discussions. We also have an office hour room where people can discuss stuff and ask for help in general.
Virtual coffee break rooms, video check ups on each other, slack channels for each and every possible interest. Sharing pet photos is a big hit, along with photos taken from going out for a walk. As someone who normally works from home it has been enlightening for some of my office based colleagues and I have noticed changes in how they interact. Hopefully this will be a long-term benefit when we return to whatever the new normality looks like.
Wanted to share this Etiquette in Teams ebook I found the other day for those of us whose companies are taking the plunge into remote work in a big way for what might be the first time ever. I’d say a lot of it applies to Slack as well. Here’s the source: https://www.avepoint.com/ebook/microsoft-teams-best-practices

That's a good guide - thank you! I've spent a fair amount of time trying to help people work out what tool for what sort of group and have gone with an MS Teams team is best suited to a group of people collaborating as a key activity of their day/week and that the collaboration has some sort of lifespan. And don't ever touch the SharePoint permissions...there be dragons.
Hey Jerreck. Funny you should mention that because we just started looking at Teams, hah!
nice! I honestly much prefer slack as a chat app because Teams has made some really bad UX choices, but for video conferencing we’ve had a much better experience with teams - and it of course works well with office 365. Although most of the time we have less than 10 people on a call, we’ve had multiple calls with 80+ people on them the past couple months that worked out just fine
