In teams I've been a part of, I found a 15 minute everyday stand up to be a nice way to build rapport.
We don't use it for planning or detailed discussions. We don't insist on a standup structure, or what must be discussed etc. We just find it useful for greeting each other, sharing context and checking if anybody needs help.
We experimented having no standups(to be completely asynchronous), but we didn't like that and felt it's worth the effort to catch up once a day.
