When the meeting becomes too much, just stop talking
It's a simple yet effective technique: just stop talking. No need to say anything, just stare blankly into space. The other meeting attendees will think it's just a deep thinking moment, and the meeting will continue as planned.

Example Use Case
Bob, the team leader, is trying to discuss the latest sales report. However, John is not responding, just staring blankly into space. Bob thinks John is taking the meeting very seriously and tries to discuss the report with the rest of the team, while John just continues to stare. The meeting continues as planned, and John gets away with not actually contributing to the meeting.
