'online' and 'remote' can both have to do with work or meetings over the internet. 'online' mainly says that something takes place on the internet or that someone is connected to the internet. 'remote' says that you are not at the usual workplace, but are working from another location, often from home. So you can work remote and be online for that. Learners can easily confuse the words because a lot of remote work happens over the internet. In practical terms: 'online' describes the connection or the place on the internet, while 'remote' describes a workplace outside the office.
Ich arbeite remote, wenn ich nicht ins Büro fahren kann.
I work remotely when I can't drive to the office.
