We actually do this quite regularly where some of the team is remote and some are in the office. Our team group chat has a "huddle" feature for impromptu meetings like that where it essentially creates a meeting at the click of a button and notifies everyone on the team. This is accessible by computer or smartphone.
Smartphones have really changed how people work now. When I was working in an office in the 90's I would have to say that communication was definitely not as good as it is now. If someone was gone from their desk for any period of time, you had no way of contacting them even for a quick question.
