I use a video call app dedicated to remote selling that optimize my focus on the meeting. Solutions like zoom, teams.. was good during the first period of the pandemic but now there are a lot of others solutions.
Ah, great question, here are might goto steps in making zoom meeting productive:
*on the business side:*
- don't schedule calls that could have been an email.
- create call agenda and share it with participants before the meeting (at least 24 hours before)
- outline what questions you'll be asking and what sort of support you need from your participants
- if anybody else will speak besides you, assign talking points to them in your agenda
- keep the call short under 30 minutes
- create call summary once you're done
- follow up with participants same day (within few hours) after the call
*on the personal side:*
- be well rested
- be fresh
- be motivated to have this call
- add call reminders 1 hour before the call
- do less calls (leave only important zoom calls)
- delegate non-important zoom calls

Lack of focus is often due to the meeting structure or the presenter and not your fault at all. We're all pretty similar in our ability to pay attention (not very long) so making a meeting interesting to everyone should be the organiser's top responsibility.
So maybe give constructive feedback on how to make it more interesting (your colleagues will probably feel the same so they'll be thankful).

Why are you asking this question?

I put everything aside, so that I can't reach even my phone :D and turn on Zoom on full screen, so that nothing pops up during the meeting
