That sounds like not everyone needed to be in that meeting.
My old work banned screens in meetings (except for the note taker), it made it painfully obvious to me which meetings I didn't need to be in. Sometimes I'd sit there for half an hour with my eyes glazed over.
On the plus side, eventually I started being more assertive when questioning whether my attendance was necessary at certain meetings, or asking to leave once the relevant part of the meeting was over. There was no point in me sitting there while the iOS team discussed some specific issue that I couldn't give any input to.
