everyone
A form of address or greeting directed at all people present. It is often used to address a group as a whole.
Guten Morgen allerseits und herzlich willkommen zur heutigen Besprechung!
Good morning, everyone, and a warm welcome to today's meeting!
from all sides
Means 'von allen Seiten' (from all sides) or 'auf allen Seiten' (on all sides). This usage is more formal or slightly old-fashioned.
Der Vorschlag stieß allerseits auf Zustimmung.
The proposal met with approval from all sides.
The word is made up of 'aller' (genitive plural of 'alle' (all)) and the ending '-seits' (side). So it literally means 'from the side of all' or 'to the side of all.'
Ich wünsche euch allerseits einen schönen Feierabend.
I wish you all a nice evening after work.
You can recognize the meaning from the sentence position: If 'allerseits' appears at the beginning as a form of address ('Hallo allerseits!' (Hello everyone!)), it is directed at a group. If it appears inside the sentence, it usually means 'von allen Seiten' (from all sides), as in 'Der Plan fand allerseits Zustimmung' (The plan met with approval from all sides).
Guten Tag allerseits, lasst uns beginnen.
Good afternoon, everyone, let's begin.
As a form of address, 'allerseits' is a friendly and common way to address a group of people at the same time. It often stands alone or together with a greeting such as 'Hallo' (hello) or 'Guten Morgen' (good morning).
Hallo allerseits, schön, dass ihr da seid!
Hello everyone, it's great that you're here!
In the meaning 'von allen Seiten' (from all sides), 'allerseits' is mainly used in written language or in formal contexts. In everyday spoken language, this usage is rather rare.
Die Entscheidung stieß allerseits auf Unverständnis.
The decision met with incomprehension from all sides.
together
When addressing a group that is present, zusammen can neutrally and commonly emphasize being together as a group. Allerseits specifically directs a greeting to everyone and usually sounds more formal or sometimes jokingly old-fashioned. Use zusammen in normal conversation and allerseits for a special greeting to the whole group.
Guten Abend allerseits, schön, dass ihr gekommen seid.
Good evening, everyone. It’s nice that you came.
Schön, dass wir heute alle zusammen hier sind.
It’s nice that we’re all here together today.
