(I'm not the guy you replied to but...) It's not bad when everyone knows what they are doing.

You get the occasional feedback screech or something, but for the most part we aren't animals and we all know how to mute our mic's. And the added benefit of a face means you can get more body-language which helps prevent the "talking over" that happens on conference calls.

Plus the way we have it setup now we can all "mute" one another, so if someone is causing an issue and doesn't know it (or stepped away for a second) we can instantly mute them and move on.

So it's like a webinar scenario where only 1 or 2 principals or are all present supposed to participate?

No we are all participating, but we only talk one at a time mostly. It works surprisingly similar to a real meeting. Someone runs it, and everyone else participates when they need to.
