A standup meeting was also in 1 room and in person. More people work remote now, it's not 1995 anymore ( history of scrum). As most things, scrum evolved. It's a guide, not a strict protocol/law The idea is to have all the technical things in one time to eliminate interruptions later on, not to eliminate personal connections with the team. So what is a better time for the casual talk, since people don't have coffee breaks anymore? ( If everyone of the team is onboard fyi) I kinda miss in person with the entire team. I see some people seriously slacking and those are the ones not really involved with casual talk too ( coincidence? ). While many people are perfectly able to work remotely, it made the job of a eg. teamlead much harder to confront more difficult things. They can't notice the body signals anymore when a person's cam is just off ( and even then).
