The ability to have someone instantly available, without requiring 100% of their attention, is useful. I have no problem with some people multitasking in meetings, and I don't judge people if they say "sorry, I wasn't paying attention, can you repeat that". I've learned to ask better questions that people can answer even if they weren't paying attention.

One thing I always found helpful with that is to lead with the person's name. So "Bob, do you have an opinion on this specific thing, in the context of this other thing?"

I totally understand drifting off in meetings especially virtual ones.
