The meeting itself
How this is scored
Whether the call works: participant capacity, video and audio quality under load, screen sharing, breakout rooms, moderation, and what happens on a bad connection.
0 — Small meetings only, no screen sharing worth the name, no moderation controls, and the call degrades without telling anyone.
3 — Standard meetings with screen sharing and mute-all, but low participant limits, no breakout rooms and no bandwidth adaptation stated.
5 — Meetings at the scale most teams need with screen sharing, breakout rooms, host moderation, and documented behaviour on constrained connections.
8 — Large meetings and webinars with published capacity limits, per-participant moderation and waiting rooms, layout control, simulcast or adaptive bitrate stated, and reliable behaviour on mobile networks.
10 — Scale and control are engineering claims the vendor stands behind: capacity published per plan and per region, selective forwarding with adaptive quality documented, live streaming, hardware-room support, and diagnostics an admin can read after a bad call.
The Educator
Breakout rooms are documented in real depth — up to eight rooms, self-selection, late-joiner invitations, messaging every room, and whiteboard and shared notes saved out as PDF — which is what I need for thirty restless adults. Moderation is likewise concrete: a moderator-reviewed lobby, per-participant permission locks, a presenting policy, and muting from the user list. But we found no public information on published capacity limits, adaptive quality, or what happens to a call on a bad mobile connection, and that silence is exactly where half my class lives. 2 4 5 9
