> Daily stand-ups are mostly also not really that useful

This is my feeling. Wouldn't a weekly meeting where we don't need to stand up be sufficient for this?

I guess it depends on the people and how they function. And how the team communicates throughout the day or the week.

My team's daily stand up is incredibly useful. If we didn't find them useful we would have no problem moving them to 2 or 3 times a week. YMMV but as a team lead I hate taking up more of people's time than necessary.

I think nowadays when we have video call everyone is sitting anyway. So you know maybe you can cheat :) no one will notice if you add background.
