Maximum number of participants - TEAMS video meeting

Sophie Lepinoy 1

Hi,

I have a video meeting scheduled soon. There will be approx 52 participants. Different participants need to be able to share their screen or a document (a presentation), in turns. Participants will be presenting in groups of 4-5, one group after the other, between 10am and 14.00pm.

I usually invite participants (usually only 25 participants) - Microsoft calendar invite - and they usually are able to share their screen (with some exceptions though). However, I'd like to know whether...

TEAM video meeting works for 52 participants (only 4-5 to have their video ON at the same time. But everyone needs to be able to hear the speakers and see the presentations,
Everyone needs to be able to share their presentation at some point,
Should Participants download the TEAMS app?
Some participants will be on Mac, others on Windows. Some might be on mobile (although most of them will be on a laptop).

Many thanks
S.

@Sophie Lepinoy ,

Question 1. TEAM video meeting works for 52 participants (only 4-5 to have their video ON at the same time. But everyone needs to be able to hear the speakers and see the presentations

Sure. The maximum number of people in a meeting is 350. For more information about limits for Teams, please refer to this article.

Question 2. Everyone needs to be able to share their presentation at some point

It’s up to your requirements. Organizer can determine who can present by this link.

Question 3. Should Participants download the TEAMS app?

No. The web client (https://teams.microsoft.com)is a full, functional client that can be used from a variety of browsers. For more information, please refer to this article.

Question 4. Some participants will be on Mac, others on Windows. Some might be on mobile (although most of them will be on a laptop).

It’s all okay.

Hi,
thanks for your answers.

It all went well except for:

I could not share content with the rest of the group. For some reason, when I clicked share screen, I was just presented with a spinning wheel and nothing came up. (see attached; lower part of the screenshot)

Some groups (only 1) could not share either (although I don't know why)... since it's just one group it might be OK.

Many thanks

What do you mean the rest of the group?

To clarify: I just can't share my screen for anyone to see during a `TEAMS meeting.

@Sophie Lepinoy ,

Does this issue persist all the time? Or what changes do you do before this issue happened?

Does anyone else have the same issue?

Do you try to login other machines?

Try [performing a clean boot][2] in Windows to check if the issue is caused by software conflicts.

If no luck, clear your client cache and try again. Delete any file in the following folders:

%appdata%\Microsoft\teams\application cache\cache

%appdata%\Microsoft\teams\blob_storage

%appdata%\Microsoft\teams\Cache

%appdata%\Microsoft\teams\databases

%appdata%\Microsoft\teams\GPUcache

%appdata%\Microsoft\teams\IndexedDB

%appdata%\Microsoft\teams\Local Storage

%appdata%\Microsoft\teams\tmp

Moreover, make sure your client is the latest version.

I have un-installed Teams, then re-installed. It did not solve the issue.
I looked up the "client cache" but could not find an understandable way to do what you suggest on my Mac Laptop.
Is there anything else I can do?
Many thanks
