That's great feedback. Honestly, we haven't set up a team larger than 5 at this point. However, I also believe that 3-5 is roughly the amount of people who you actually work really closely with. These units are probably the right grouping for who is in one room. There is no actual max number, but I do think the design and the use case would fall apart right now. But there's some things we're thinking about like separate channels that might help with this. |

Isaac Asimov commented maximum creativity is 3-5, but a variety of firms have found the optimal team size is a “two pizza team” (6 to 10, typically 8).
Google the term, you get tons of discussion from blogs to journalism, that can lead you to papers:

In any case, what pattern does the screen divide into for 5? Of course there is a max number, arguably the number of individual pixels if you wanted each participant’s presence indicated by a single dot, but the practical limit is much lower. How many can you do? Why not test more?
Currently Teams on iPad is 9, the increase from 4 was news:

Zoom is 42, so Teams plans 49 shortly:

A 7x7 grid on an iPad Pro works out to something like 390x292, well above the 320x240 that was a fine streaming video size back in the day.
PS. If you haven’t done more than 5, say so in the FAQ.
