The time zone differences didn't deter a group chat I had with my classmates Stephen, Tara and Sarah, all of us in different cities.
As opposed to a one on one chat, it's a lot more difficult to have a linear conversation on a group chat context. A topic cannot be extended for more than one question and one maybe two answers at most.
On a formal context, I think the group chat format would work if all parties were given a brief and an opportunity to speak each on their own time, just like a presentation. On a more informal context, it would be useful for friends organising an event, such as a party, but didn't have the opportunity to meet up face to face before said event.
