NetMeeting (maximum number)

[Guest]

What is the maximum number of participants allowed during a netmeeting
session? My co-worker had problems with dropped calls above 11. I will be
hosting a session with about 20 participants and want to avoid dropped calls.
Is there a difference in performance in using desktop connected and laptop
wireless?

Usually the maximum number is dependent on hardware. Here's a site to
look at:

NetMeeting supports one to one audio video. The number of parties
connected
to a data call is not limited by NetMeeting however the operating
system of
the top level provider ( either the hoster or the first caller) puts
limits
on connections that affect NetMeeting: Windows XP limits you to 16.

Also for future netmeeting questions, there is a group for netmeeting
