Idk - the company I work for was totally prepared for this and the IT systems are absolutely OK.

Exceptions: weekly full-house meeting of 400 employees isn’t supported by hangouts so you can only participate in read-only mode

The only issue I personally have is my WFH broadband is horrible.

Basically what you’re saying is that “the company I work for does a horrible job of having it’s systems available for remote work”. But then it would also be true of other things

Those have almost always been 'meetings that should have been an email' in my experience. I think some leaders are just used to having an audience to be effective.

Yeah, that's not a meeting, that's a sermon.

It probably would've been best handled by a livestream. Let the preacher/CEO talk, and have everyone else use the chat for comments.

If you have Q&A, these meetings can definitely be effective.
