I have almost never needed video but certainly a voice conversation is much, much faster for two or three people to work something out.

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.

Video meeting invites shouldn't even include people who are there just for FYI stuff and aren't expected to give their opinion.

They can just read the AI transcript of the meeting - or the minutes if someone writes them.
