  I'm not familiar with many of the games in that video. But one of the things that makes Monopoly well-suited to remote playing is that there no information that needs to be kept secret, so it's reasonable to play with a physical board where remote people tell the board owner what moves to make on their behalf. Games like Catan where you maintain a hand of hidden cards require either some software to facilitate play, or else a lot of painstaking effort. It's not impossible though: one of my relatives played Euchre (a trick-taking card game) on a Zoom call with friends, where the dealer would show each person their cards one at a time, while everyone else turned away from their screen so that they couldn't see.
