Remote videocall/kanban – what does everyone say when entering?


We do remote kanbans for a while now.

But the start still feels weird sometimes. Everyone repeating 'hi'/'hello'.

Do any of you guys do something different ? ( and i'm not talking about removing video kanbans fyi )

Edit: This is a really similar 'feeling': https://youtu.be/YspAGRCeXc4?t=45

I use a wide variety of greetings, most notably: "Ahoi", "How you've been?", "What's cooking?", "What gives?", "Beautiful day today, ain't it?".

Having at least one extroverted person in the call helps though, sometimes it's weird if no one replies.
