Why are there so few "enterprise grade zoom alternatives" regardless of being foss or not?
- Webex supposedly does 1000 people.
- Google meet: No, only up to 500 with "business plus".
- MS Teams: Confusing numbers but 1000 for chat only, but 20(?) for audio/video.
- Bluejeans: 200 for enterprise; 500 "view-only"
- Anything else?
So the first answer that comes to mind is that there are no alternatives at all for 1000 participants.
If you only need ~200 there are many more options.
- eurasiantiger 4y agoHow many real-life meetings have 200, 500, let alone 1000 active participants? Representational democracy comes to mind, which is interesting, because the ”representational” part only exists to mitigate this very problem. Maybe there is a systemic lesson here.
- dartharva 4y agoIf you really want to address hundreds and thousands of people at once, maybe you're better off livestreaming on YouTube or Twitch.
- speedgoose 4y agoI have been in a MS team meeting with 1000+ participants where the presenter had video enabled. But maybe 1000 is the max and the number of people was higher because counting fast in a distributed system is hard.
