I would consider starting the meeting off with expectations: “Let’s try to keep phones aside unless it is urgent, so we can keep focus for the next X amount of time.” From that, you kind of have to decide how ‘strict’ to be on it and whether it’s going to help or hurt the team.
I catch myself picking up my phone without even thinking about it! A reminder before will hopefully quell that.
Why even worry about being polite? If people can't respect what's going on they don't deserve a lot of courtesy. Whoever is running the meeting should just tell them to can it with the phones.
Idk I tend to think the people I spend 40 hours a week with deserve kindness and respect.
