Remote brainstorming sessions feel dead.

Hi y’all, our team does these weekly zoom brainstorms for new features or whatever, but they’re always so awkward and quiet. Everyone has cameras off which makes it worse, you cant read the room at all. Then there are these long silences where nobody jumps in, and when someone does talk its usually the same loud couple of people dominating.
I get that remote makes it hard but it feels like ideas just die in those calls. Nobody builds on anything, its just crickets or one guy rambling. Tried shared docs beforehand but people barely fill them out. Anyone else dealing with this pls lmk if u have used anything that helps.
