Is this offensive?

I was having a meeting over Teams with my boss and a couple other colleagues. One of my colleagues asked when we would be meeting up in person for a team lunch (I haven't met them in person yet since I was promoted to my current position during Covid and have WFH since). My boss said that hopefully we can get together at some point and it's definitely something he is looking forward to etc., and since there had been a few awkward silences during the meeting, plus no one had their cameras on, I said something along the lines of "yes and hopefully it'll be less awkward than meeting up over Teams." I said it humorously, I didn't want to imply that they themselves were awkward. But I think my boss took it the wrong way and he said sarcastically "thanks.." Now I'm wondering if I should say something, that if anything I meant I'm the awkward one over Teams?

Why don't people have their cameras on? I think that makes it awkward. Our HOD requests that we have our cameras on. When we finally met the new team members who joined during covid it felt as if we knew them already and there was no awkwardness.

Sometimes my boss puts his camera on, and I do the same, but in this meeting no one had their cameras on. I didn't want to be the only one with my camera on. I've always hated speaking over Teams, it's so unnatural compared to speaking face to face, especially when I've never met my colleagues in person.

Should I message my boss to clear the air? Or am I overthinking this?

I think what you said was perfectly reasonable. Especially if people are funny about putting their camera on.
