Dearest Anne: I have also found zoom to be intimate! I know folks complain a lot about zoom fatigue but before this pandemic there was such a thing as "meeting fatigue" and of course what we all know is that is down to how a meeting is hosted - or not. It's not enough just to use a tool in a physical or a virtual space. How one shows up to lead and host, as always, is critical.
