Meet performs quite poorly with large number of participants (the tipping point being around 10 or so for me) in a meeting. I tried various browsers and found Chrome to be the worst performer and surprisely Firefox was somewhat better but still needed a refresh every now and then. Macos on a 2017 MacBook. This is one of many reasons keeping my $employer on Zoom. We just haven't found a decent video conferencing software that manages 25+ videos flawlessly. I know of colleagues using Teams successfully but many people we meet with outside our organisation expects Zoom nowdays. I suspect any alternative will have to be very good to take over Zoom as the preferred platform. That has yet to appear.

All participants have their videos switched on. Even when the bandwidth fluctuates, we haven't noticed issues. In particular, Meet degrades well: audio continues to be high quality, with video becoming grainy or getting suspended. But, that is pretty rare. And, slide shows are never a problem.
- kiwijamo 6y agoAh that is interesting. I work for a school for Deaf learners who use sign language. We rely on having good quality video so we can see each other. Your description of video degradion matches my observation. Unfortunately this is not suitable for our use case. Zoom maintains high quality video really well on the same connections meets will degrade quite badly. I've always thought there should be a switch to decide which of video or audio should receive priority.
