A popular web conferencing system you can use for free is Skype. You can do voice, text chat with up to 5 other people. It also works on a variety of computer systems which means you aren't limited when someone in the team is using a different system. The only down side is, you can only hold a video chat with one other person. Other popular and free systems include Yahoo! Messenger, UserPlane.
If you can handle paying a bit to host an online company party then web conferencing services will be a great way to go. This way you'll get more features like the ability to surf the internet together or even share files directly from your computer - just think of the things you could do with this. Using this system you can play videos or open photos right from your computer without having to upload or send anything.
Text, voice and video can all be used to communicate with larger groups of people using a web conferencing system. Another nice thing, many services allow you to record your online event. Depending on the service, you can purchase these services on a per minute, per hour or per day basis.
