Back in pre-covid times, for a while, we had a team with around 6 local devs and a couple of devs in other more remote (and earlier) time zones. We had the remote members give their standup in slack and the locals do an actual standup. They took turns reading the slack standup from the other members. We kept each other on track during standup for the most part though sometimes things would wander until we brought it back in. We tried to be conscious of the time but not rigid about it. We also did periodic calls of the whole team even though the times were not the most convenient for anyone. The team members liked each other and were helpful when needed and were willing to do occasional, short off-time calls to talk about longer term plans.
