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.
How 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.
I 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.
