I recently had some "how to run a meeting" training, maybe some ideas? This would be just thoughts I have maybe to make remote video/audio meetings work better. Honestly though, I'm just guessing. I'm not an expert (yet!)
Can you delegate the running of meetings to others in your team? Have meetings "chaired" by a different member of your team each time, they're in charge of keeping it to agenda, making sure everyone contributes, doesn't go too off topic, etc. Then they have free reign within that. Use it as a training / mentoring thing for them too.
Before each group meeting, you have a quick 1 on 1 with the meeting chair, let them know your direction, etc, and afterward to debrief if things go badly.
Also, have a PM window open to them during the meeting, and msg them if you need something clarified, or want to say something. I'm sure they'll be happy to ensure that happens. Teams look after each other.
One of the ideas from the meeting training I had was some companies have a "if there's no agenda and notes sent ahead of the meeting with enough time to read them all, then you aren't expected to show up".
Look for information about "Lean" meetings, maybe, there are a few different styles about.
I whole heartedly recommend getting in contact with Dan and Suzie Potter ( https://duzie.com/ https://duzie.com/ ), they're fantastic coaches and team trainers, and excellent and giving out-of-the-box ideas.
