Use https://MeetingGlass.com to get easy long video meetings through virtual frosted glass.
Me and my friends, each of us got that app launching at Windows startup. Every time we turn on our computers at the same time, we see each other frosted through the virtual glass. Then we talk or remain frosted in the background.
You've primarily been on HN to self-promote your app, which doesn't really fit the HN guidelines.
Anyhoo, to answer OPs question -- we live 10 minutes outside our town, and my kids play video games together with their friends. Sometimes via in-game chat, but just as often by playing a game on the same server and calling each other on the phone.
Personally, I'm still old-school. I call my friends and family on the phone and talk to them.
There's nothing wrong letting people know about a useful tool that they can take advantage of. It is not a promotion. It is distribution.
From the guidelines
> Please don't use HN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff part of the time, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity.
At least be clear about the self-promotion.
