From my many years of teaching online, I'd say that changing the communication channels is key. Both webex and zoom (the platforms I've used) offer not only chat, but the ability to make annotations or move arrows on the screen. Combining those interactions with voice (and lots of chatting) has made my workshops dynamic. Without video (or video minimized) participants can, paradoxically, share more deeply, since they aren't seen. Using the text function allows anonymity which can increase honesty even more.
Here is the article.
