I've seen two possibilities in the same situation.
1. The meeting is not important for you, and they don't care if you're present at all times. It's for some other team, and you're only there to give input at times. e.g. we bring an architecture expert to the UI meeting to double check whether the system can make recommendations the way we'd like.
Since working from home, what I actually did during meetings is zone out, like sweeping the house, going for a walk, washing dishes. Low physical activities that are also difficult to concentrate on because they're so boring. I'll zone out but snap back into focus as soon as someone mentions my name or the word "app". My brain is a passive filter.
Before developing that technique, the hour long morning "stand ups" would drain half my energy for the day. It's not necessarily a good idea to focus.
2. The meeting is quite important. In that case, it should be a little interesting, because it's relevant. Make minutes of meeting and send it to the team. People will be grateful because most people see it as a chore.
