What has your experience been running a Annual Meeting but your team is overseas and remote?

I'm new still (implemented EOS in June 2021). But, yes, everything is way different. Cannot do a local retreat, or anything fancy. The question seems to be, how do you stir up a closeness and team "feel" when everyone is spread across the world. I have just put a little more time into small talk in each meeting to get to know everyone and find common ground. I think working remotely has so many benefits, that most people do not feel like they are missing out on the team-building. Does this (at least partially) help? I am here to learn any ideas to improve in this area too.
