I used to, but it drove me slowly insane. It wasn't all day every day, it was one day a week for about 4 hours in the afternoon. Everyone is in a conference room, working on laptops, munching on food, discussing things, etc. There's usually a standup round. And then there's a few remote people like me. I didn't want to be a remote worker (which is why I relocated), and this just reinforces it. This meeting is working with a remote team in our same project but in a different location. It's really hard to communicate over teleconference with meetings/groups. The microphones either pick up some noise or side conversation, if you can hear the other person at all. And the lag can be very tiresome. Whiteboards are also liabilities. Even just trying to listen in on the background and tune it out when I wasn't being talked with was hard. I really would advise against it. I find slack to be more useful and less distracting.
