Note taking exists to combat what you're talking about. You can improve your note taking, and how you use your notes, on paper or on a device.
Painting all lectures and meetings as 'broken' because one would prefer to have video for everything (that's how I understood it) is pretty hyperbolic.
A good modern example of this is The Art of Electronics which is a textbook format. There is a companion book which is Learning the Art of Electronics which contains exactly the structure I want to see, which is your lectures, tutorials and labs in a structured format on paper. You can complete these with guidance, without guidance, with or without lectures and tutorials.
The lectures should be more interactive and be a result of the above. Build your knowledge on more than one pillar and some structure so to speak.
Some of the course ecosystems you see are very closed with respect to structure and you are carried through without being permitted to see the path.
That scales poorly- O(n) cost per O(1) benefit
It can actually be informative to look over his shoulder as a meeting progresses, to see what loose ends are still dangling, and where people focus the most attention.
For myself, I've moved to markdown-style in my handwritten notes. It isn't as fluid as mind maps, but the bullet points and headings still bring out structure, and the number of sub-bullets under any given item can hint to me if I haven't understood how things are going at a fine enough or coarse enough level.
I rather like HyperPhysics here: http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/index.html
