One person acts and says nothing, the clue is on their screen alone, and everybody else types what they think it is. 3 to 8 people, about 15 minutes.
It is the one game here that gets people to stand up, and on a video call that is worth more than it sounds — a meeting where somebody has been miming a wheelbarrow is a different meeting afterwards.
Nobody has to be good at it. Being bad at charades is most of the entertainment, and there is no round where the quiet person is asked a question they cannot answer.
Everybody acts exactly once, so it ends when the table has been round. A room of five is fifteen minutes and a room of eight is twenty, and you know which before you start.
