Regarding Amalia's request about "Live-streaming, video-conferencing and related technologies enable congregants to connect beyond the walls of the synagogue, can we effectively count those whom we know to be technologically present as part of a minyan?" there is an interesting discussion in the Journal of Halacha and Contemporary Society, No.75, December 2020 entitled "Zooming In: Participation in Prayer Over Video Conference" by Rabbi Joshua Flug (p.83-95).
