Its been 5 years sine the world has become consumed with Zoom. Covid forced the world to go remote over night and everyone landed on the zoom screen. Zoom stock zoomed but has since crashed. Everyone is still using zoom on a daily basis, it has become apart of the everyday fabric along with a few other platforms that realized they needed to catch up. But 5 years later I have found zoom meetings to have become over crowded, the more prople that join the smaller everyones real estate is on the screen. You can no longer see who is on the call because its so small, provided they have there cameras on. I have found that 9 people on the screen is the perfect size crowd. You can actually see everyone on the screen and know who you are talking too and who is talking during the call. Is there a zoom etiquette for the numer of participatants, should there be?

I think when it goes to a second screen, it no longer allows for a tuned in group. But I understand when it happens and never want to limited participants, I just am not a fan.

Zoom fatigue kicking in; however, it's so efficient will not go away. Hollywood Squares, the OG 9

Zoom has erased distance or mobility as a barrier to connection.I remember when we used to use conference calls to bring people into conversation. At a certain point, it was too difficult for everyone to participate effectively. Even in person, when the group is too large, a room becomes difficult to navigate. But as I always say, the fun is in the follow up. Meetings are only one step in building relationships - they are often the first step and all the good stuff happens later one to one.

I hadn't thought of the Hollywood squares comparison but your right, thats the perfect mental picture.

I think we have learned that Zoom is a necessary addition now to the communications toolbox. And oh yes, tons of Zoom etiquette issues.
