This is harder than it seems. It can be quite disruptive to those around
you to sit at your desk being noisy participating in a hangout, and that
rules out a large part of the office. I've done this before myself from the
fifth floor collab space, where there are no permanent desks and some
semi-private areas, but you cannot guarantee the availability of those
spaces. When I was remote I often wondered why more people didn't do this,
but when I moved to the office, I started to appreciate the difficulties
with it.
