Great question! Honestly, I've not used any type of video chat myself with my SFI team, but I've been on a few video chats hosted by others for things like learning Facebook, chatting about blogging systems, etc.
I would have to say, as long as you and your team are comfortable with being on camera, and you can all coordinate to have a half hour or an hour free at the same time, absolutely it will be effective.
What video chat has done is taken the "old" way of networking; i.e., driving to weekly meetings at some hotel conference room, hooking up over coffee at a local restaurant, etc., and brought the whole network marketing conferences to your home, regardless of where you live.
It's especially effective if you have something new you want to share or if you want opinions from your team on a new advertising method or new ways to recruit affiliates and sign up ECAs.
What might be good is to send out a team mailer to get topics to discuss and get a feel for the interest level of your team members. Then have them submit questions and topics for discussion at the chat. Your team members can share their ideas and what's working for them with the other members too.
So I would say go for it if you're thinking about setting something up. You can even have the chat session streamed live from a Google Hangout onto YouTube so other team members can access the replay later if they weren't able to attend the live session.
And once you do venture into it, be sure to share the experience in the forums!
