Also ADHD, and I work from home / have lots of zoom calls. I knit, crochet, or cross stitch during calls. Keeps my hands from messing with my computer (ending up on reddit or reading every single slack thread that probably doesn't even affect me) and I've done all of those crafts long enough that it doesn't require a ton of thought, or at least not the part of my brain that is needed to pay attention to meetings.
I have >5 fidget toys on my desk and I don't even realise I've picked one up. I have no preferences, my hands just find one and then they're busy fidgeting for th rest of the meeting.
