Hmmm. I don't think so? My team of 6 has weekly meetings. We've always gotten on well so there's some banter and I sometimes drag the meeting back to work topics so we can keep it to an hour. Plus we have an ongoing chat in Teams.

I'm an introvert but there's my male partner (works at same company, we're both WFH since last March), two 8 yo boys plus a half-time manny, it can still get pretty noisy. I think having the 2 kids has kept their skills okay but we'll have to whenever they go back to in-person schooling. I don't plan on allowing that until my partner and I are vaccinated and I'd prefer that the kids were as well.

The kids' zoom calls have been weird. When the teacher sends them off into breakout rooms with 5-6 kids each, at least half immediately mute and usually turn off their cameras. It's messy and frustrates my kids to no end. Admittedly, at this age, the kids are narcing on each other about who's online and not.
