How to pass time during zoom meetings?

I have to attend 2-3 hour long zoom meetings daily. Its basically a scrum call where I get the limelight for 15 mins and for the rest of the time , I sit idle.

In the remaining time,

  1. I watch pubg gameplay videos in mute on YouTube.
  2. Surf social media on mute
  3. Apply for jobs
  4. Remain calm and meditate by watch my breath go in and out.

Can someone please give me more productive/ non- productive ideas to pass time. Thanks.

Manager is a phd. academician turned manager and doesn't understand agile and scrum. He's very stubborn and treats us like students. WLB and pay is good but the meetings takes a toll on me.

If it runs for 3 hours it shouldn't be called scrum call.

I would just finish off the rest of my work. I mean, you’re already frustrated, might as well complete the remainder of the frustrating work and do whatever you want to do, whenever productive or not, peacefully in the extra 2 hours you get.

Apart from 2-3 reasonable answers, everyone gave some random bullshit gyaan.

Drop the call if the rest of the discussion is not relevant to you? I routinely drop out of calls if I don’t find the discussion relevant/productive.
