What's the minimum amount of people it needs to be effective for you? Not sure how I'd do with just one other person.

Are you differentiating between people who provide a video feed and people who don't? (I just checked it out a while ago, and there were 2 text participants and 0 video participants... I didn't really see how it could be an effective motivator, and closed the tab for the sake of stimulus discrimination.)

Generally for me people who have video on are useful and people who dont have video aren't. However there are other factors as well. For example, someone who has their video on but is not doing anything useful will not do much for my productivity.
