I do this. I don't really want to stop though, because I think it's important to enjoy what you do and to have a fun workplace. However, it's not always appropriate to derail meetings. Some meetings are more informal, and that's ok. Most of the time, keep the jokes limited to the introductions/farewells. One thing that helps me in teams meetings is instead of speaking the joke I pick someone who's camera is on and type it to them. My goal is to get people to burst out laughing on camera. It also helps to have a teams chat with only your friends in it so that you can share the humour with them and not a wider audience. Also, make sure your jokes aren't hurtful. Typically I joke about the situation or the software or something, but don't really say anything that can be seen as negative about someone, not even customers. Oh, whatever you do, don't type jokes into the chat when it's an all hands and there's 800 people in the meeting, especially not jokes about profitability or whatever. trust me on this one.
