Participating in a meeting forces you to be public with your idea or argument or objection. If you want to do it privately, just ping the person off channel. If you are worried about interrupting people, the best strategy is to comment on someone’s idea and immediately follow up with your idea. For example: “John - Good idea! I think …”

Smart! This is a kind, career-smart way to handle this.
I've seen also the opposite, working with people that just can't help but talking over others, to them a meeting is like an opportunity to hear themselves talking. I think remote work works better with async communication, thoughtful, concise, public. In-person is great for sync communication. I liked better places where I worked that did this, we had sync communication during off-sites basically.
Coach
that makes sense! thats an interesting thought about remote vs in person. remote syncing just doesnt work the same
A lot of people remotely are quiet in meetings probably for a few reasons
1) not at their desk
2) not really listening
3) fear of public speaking
4) don’t want to give their opinion out loud
5) some people could be burned out
Coach
agree to not rly listening! Its hard to tune in fully while remote
You suggest something and suddenly you're the lead.

100%! rookie mistake
