Some members hate it, but I still think it's important to jump on a video call from time to time. I notice a lot more engagement through video than I do through teams text only. Always make sure every voice is heard, which is also easier through video!

Sometimes it's harder to message if you haven't really got anything to day but on video you can nod and come across more enthusiastic then in a message.
Time zones are very hard for me to navigate. Trying to have a meeting when one person is getting ready to end their day and the other is just beginning is weird! We do try to have meetings where we can still come together, but then also places where we can put up ideas/comments/etc. And everyone can respond when they are on next.
Set up a weekly or bi-weekly status meeting so your team can talk through the project status and brainstorming will usually come from that because everyone is on the call. But having it in a set cadence like that won't be too overwhelming.

Sometimes I find it much easier in person rather then video calls as distractions on calls are more likely than in a meeting room and sometimes I can’t be 100% reliable with signal / internet cutting out. That’s how I’ve found it.

Yea some people do have issues with signal or even just theatre they can't get teams to work or the sound is off. Meeting in person is always best but it isn't always convenient.
I'm in the same boat ... nothing beats scribbling ideas on a whiteboard together! I've started using virtual whiteboards and short, informal check-ins to keep the spark alive.
