How many users can view a single camera over Meraki cloud?

Is there an estimate / guideline to how many viewers can see a single camera over the Meraki cloud. 

 

- Scenario there is a hostage situation at a school facility and one camera has a good view of it, how many school personnel / law enforcement can view at the same time?  Assume large fiber internet circuit from the school to the Meraki cloud.  Any estimates anyone can provide?  What are the potential bottlenecks in the streaming flow?

 

Thanks for your help!

I've never seen any documentation on concurrent viewers.

 

The main bottleneck would be what you have already noted - bandwidth.

I would say the processor may also be a bottleneck. I have noticed that with an MV72 that records audio that if more than one person is viewing the live feed then only one person gets audio
