Standup is one area where the engineers can affect the culture and the outcome. Expect that at the beginning of a project they can be long but as time goes on they can be quite short. Neither is good or bad, but it's important to keep things succinct. Hopefully rotate who leads the standup - even every day. Probably unpopular opinion but anyone should be able to politely ask that some subjects be handled 'offline'. Well run standups are great tools for productivity. It's not a meeting and it's not conversation. It's discovery. It's having your teammates back.

EDIT: also keep in mind different personalities. Some people just aren't socially comfortable with the format. That's totally fine and hopefully team lead or standup lead will engage them directly after the standup and propagate any relevant info.
