I feel you. I did a somewhat controversial thing when I was in a similar situation (I had to attend an online meeting and actually present something but all meeting rooms were usually occupied by people who wanted to work in peace). So I made the effort to be anti-social and spoke quite loud in the open space to make sure everyone left, including the CEO heard me well. Nobody dared to approach me and discuss my behavior because, well, they understood the idiocy of the situation. I left the company a few months later anyway as nothing changed and they insisted on hybrid work with no private offices.
