Like many on a Zoom call (6)

I believe the answer is:

remote

(Other definitions for remote that I've seen before include "as from armchair to TV?" , "gadget" , "rather aloof" , "Distant (from civilisation?)" , "Device for controlling apparatus from a distance" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
