I hate video calls, but sometimes is so much easier (and really faster) to align with someone over a complicated issue. feels almost counter intuitive but the more complicated the matter the easier to align over voice / video than text in my view
Four+ people and someone is either being held hostage to others and/or just tuning out. The more participants, the more of this that’s happening. And that translates pretty directly to lost time, money, and focus.
I don’t think Teams supports it, but it would be interesting to see studies where orgs go “max participants = 4” without high level approval.
They can just read the AI transcript of the meeting - or the minutes if someone writes them.
