our standup is supposed to be max 30 minutes and our product manager frequently runs over time with a bunch of discussion and debate that goes nowhere. Recently, I've taken to just leaving at the 30 minute mark for "my next meeting" or I turn my camera off and fire up my playstation. Highly recommend either option.

Hmm. I’m a product manager. I never speak at stand ups. It’s not my meeting, it’s the team’s.

If something needs further discussion, then a follow up discussion with one or two people is enough.

I rarely speak—but I will answer direct questions and will admit more than once have gone off on a short rant when I hear finger pointing for effect.
