Company wants to hold a online conference style meeting with the entire company. What software can we use?

[aaradorn]

Due to the whole corona thing my entire company is working from home. (A blessing in disguise), they want to hold a online meeting, everyone should be visible at once with the webcams. We tried teams but it has a limit of 4 people on your screen at once, google duo has a call limit of 8 people. Do you guys know of a website that can help us? We have a company of around 26 people, not everyone has to be visible but as many people as possible.

Teams will prioritise by voice, so the speaker will come to the forefront. Why do you need everyone to have their cameras up at the same time?

I personally don't see the reason for it but the company wants to, I have suggested teams and duo but they refused.

We require webcams. Not sure if discord supports video calls.

Google meet requires a google G suite account. We use O356

HMm, I see, need to try and get my colleagues to enter. Lot's of 35+ people so they will probably not be familiar with discord.

zoom can do at least 20 people in grid view (maybe even 25, don't know anymore).

I'll try zoom, they told me the meeting would be short so the 40 minute limite should be enough for a test run. They already told me they would purchase a subscription if it worked well enough.

At my company we use Bluejeans for that ;).

Smaller meetings are usually organized via Skype for Business or Teams - convenience is the factor.

If you have office 365 and the meeting is internal Teams is quick and easy. Im not sure how easy it is with inviting guests who dont have an office 365 account.

Zoom worked great. Everyone was visible and the quality was pretty good.
