How many people can join a Teams meeting?

The amount of people that can join a team meeting depends on the online platform you use to host the team meeting. It is worth noting that a live and in-person team meeting might be able to have up to 10,000 attendees or more, depending on your venue.

Here is a look at two popular choices for online meeting hosting platforms:

• Microsoft Teams

Microsoft Teams enables you to have a team meeting with up to 250 participants.

• Zoom

The amount of people that can join a Zoom meeting depends on the specific Zoom plan the organizer of the meeting has subscribed to.

Here are the attendance limits for a team meeting in each type of Zoom plan:

• Free Zoom Plan

Those who have free Zoom accounts can host Zoom meetings with up to 100 participants. The other limitation of the free Zoom plan is that the meeting can only last for 40 minutes.

• Zoom Pro Plan

With a pro account hosts have the same limitation of up to 100 participants for a Zoom meeting, however, a pro plan enables the host to keep a meeting going for as long as 24 hours.

• Zoom Business Plan

The Zoom Business plan caps the number of participants in a meeting at 300. This plan also enables subscribers to add more participants for a fee. In addition, the Zoom Business Plan also allows the subscriber to have multiple hosts for a meeting and the meeting can last for up to 24 hours.

• Zoom Enterprise Plan

With the Zoom Enterprise Plan subscribers can host meetings with up to 500 participants. This plan also allows you to add additional participants for a fee. In addition, the Zoom Enterprise Plan also allows the subscriber to have multiple hosts for a meeting and the meeting can last for up to 24 hours.

Having a Zoom Large Meeting Plan enables subscribers to have the most participants when compared to the other plans. The limit on participants is 1000; however, you can add additional participants for a fee. And just like the Business and Enterprise plans, a meeting can last for up to 24 hours and have multiple hosts.
