I'd like to know how many simultaneous webcam users can Adobe Connect handle. Also, has anyone had any experience using a large number of webcam users? If so, how was the performance? Thanks

Ok I see from the marketing material that Adobe says "unlimited" but I really want to know what is practical and how it scales performance-wise? Thanks!

What is practical? Probably between 1 and 6 streams can be done with reasonable use of bandwidth. However, keep in mind that you will likely want to use the lowest quality setting for cameras so they are demanding the least amount of bandwidth.

Using the Connect 8 numbers, Low quality webcam video with the room at LAN settings should have an aprox average bandwidth consumption of 184 kbps. From there it is just simple math. 6 live streams at that setting will be 1.1 Mbps. Alternatively, at High quality webcam video and with the room at LAN, each stream will average aprox 501 kbps. 6 streams will average 3 Mbps.
