Welcome to the forum. Please note my corrections above. Both sentences are grammatically incorrect. I don't know what you're trying to say. Please try to explain it using different words.

Everybody takes a singular verb. Examples:

Everybody is busy ...
The whole committee is busy ....
All the members of the committee are busy ...
