Plumbers has been pretty good at that.  Even before remote
participation, if people don't speak into the mic, it's not captured on
the recording, so we've spent ages developing protocols for this. 
Mostly centred around having someone in the room to remind everyone to
speak into the mic and easily throwable padded mic boxes.  Ironically,
this is the detail that meant we couldn't hold Plumbers in person under
the current hotel protocols ... the mic needs sanitizing after each
throw.
