90 minutes is not a standup. Keep it brief. If something needs to be discussed in more detail, take it outside the standup with just the people interested in that issue. A good standup is often followed by a bunch of smaller meetings to discuss details or help people who are stuck.

The absolute best thing about spending so long remote (I think I've been remote for the vast majority of the last 25 years) is that I can and will stand up for stand ups. This helps remind me to keep it brief and remind everybody else too. There's a guy literally stood up on screen, why are you discussing the minutiae ?

It's awkward to do this in person (although after so long I'm in the habit enough that I will un-selfconsciously just stand up in a room full of people slouched at desks to attend the same meeting in person) so I can understand why people don't form the habit but I am quite sure it has been valuable.

We used to do this on my pre covid teams. There was a big touch screen that we'd all walk over to, someone would log in to and open jira on. Now we have the 30-90 minute mega meeting instead :(
