It's going to be wildly variable, depending on the size of the room, where attendees are sitting, how good their eyesight is, and so on.  Text with 24points seems to be a common recommendation from various authorities and shows up most when you do a generic web search.

You might have better luck telling people to open the full MeetEcho client to follow along, unless you can live-code at 24point
