Cancel your daily meeting and have a single weekly update meeting. Have each project’s lead write down what progress they made last week, risks, problems, wins, and what they’ll expect to do next week.
Spend the first 10m of the meeting silently reading these updates. Then have each lead verbally give a condensed summary of their update (DONT ALLOW them to read verbatim) with a focus on the information that everyone on the team really needs to know, especially problems and blockers. Make sure they do verbally say what their next incremental unit of progress will accomplish and when they expect to have it done.
You can do “people” instead of “projects” for smaller team.
Oh, and keep all the notes and updates in a single shared doc that you add to the top of each week.
