If the meeting is big enough that you can get up without missing anything or your absence being noticed (an all hands), you can probably just turn the video off.

If it's small enough that people will notice/care that your video is off but not that you're not interacting (and you won't miss anything valuable by being absent), then your company really needs to re-evaluate its approach to meetings.

The "because I can" argument is perfectly reasonable, though.
