How can I make combat more dynamic? (but we're playing through Discord)

Hi!

So, we are 2 DMs and 7 players (but most sessions there are 5 players). We play through Discord and so far it has been great when it comes to roleplay, however fights get boring easily, because:

  1. Half of them are new to the game, so they usually take longer in their turns, and

  2. Keeping their attention is way harder, especially because we don't play with camera on.

Me and my partner DM have been talking about ways to optimize the whole thing to make it more interesting, and also to keep the players focused, however we don't know what can or can't work because we don't play irl. Any advice is highly appreciated
