Not unless they all start at the same time. If they start a little staggered from each other, there will be time to boot the first person out for trying to do a video call in a cafe around other humans before the next one starts.

Working in a cafe is completely reasonable, and wouldn't disturb other people. Taking a call is ridiculous.

Eh, from a noise level there’s no difference with having an in-person meeting at a cafe, which happens all the time and is not bothersome (depending on the cafe).

There's a noticeable difference between an in-person meeting and a call. Most people are a lot louder in the latter.
