I've found the meetings I do have seem more productive with everyone remote. In my case, most meeting I attend always have someone remote. This also isn't entirely new to me, because my team has be unofficially practicing the "one person remote, everyone remote" rule, but now it's company-wide, and it's awesome. First, it puts everyone on a level playing field. Everyone hears the same thing. If we're using video, everyone is a face in a box, instead of getting the "fly on the wall" view of a bunch of people in a conference room. It forces you to talk in a slightly different way to avoid talking over each other. Once you get a turn to speak, you have to speak more complete thoughts, and don't put in short pauses between sentences that confuse others making them think you're done talking. I'm way more productive using my multi-monitor, full-size mouse and mechanical keyboard setup than I am on just my laptop. I can take notes faster, lookup details faster, etc. And not just me -- I've noticed a couple times where we were able to solve an issue during a meeting because others were able to lookup detail needed for a decision/action (that we didn't realize before the call), where often in the past that would have been done after the meeting and then we'd have yet another follow-up discussion.
