I've asked a few times my team whether they see value in our daily meetings, mentioning that it can easily disrupt flow, might have less value than ad-hoc focused meetings or chats on particular topics, and worse of all for me - might be counterproductive when we tend to wait the next day to address something and then opt to discuss it further separately.
Response is always the same: during lockdown/WFH, it is one of the few times -- sometimes the only one -- we get to talk and hear other people so they'd like to keep it.
So instead I'm trying to move away from it being a traditional scrum round-table and try to move towards chit-chat, show and tell, general updates, group quizzes, etc. All more useful probably.
