Zoom: Maximum number of participants

Zoom is one of the most popular tools for video conferencing. The application is especially popular because of its free usage. However, if you don't want to pay anything for Zoom, you can only hold meetings with a limited number of participants.

What is the maximum number of participants in the free Zoom version?

If you want to use Zoom for free, you have to cut back on functionality. Zoom has limited the number of participants in the free version to 100. Once this participant limit is reached, no new people can dial into the video conference. In addition, the free usage limits the duration of a Zoom meeting to a maximum of 40 minutes. However, this only applies if more than two people participate in a meeting.

Zoom Subscription: Here are the respective participant limits

If you want to use Zoom with a higher limit of participants, you need a paid subscription. Here are the following options:

• Pro: With this option, the participant limit also remains at 100, but the time limit of 40 minutes is removed.
• Business: This license, aimed at medium-sized companies, allows you to hold meetings with a maximum of 300 participants.
• Enterprise: The upper limit for participants in a meeting in this subscription option is a maximum of 1,000 people.
