Zoom allows you to have up to 100 participants on a single call, but the quality of the call can start to suffer with more than 25-30 people.

The free version of Zoom has a limit of 100 participants, but you can only record meetings with up to 100 participants if you're the host.

If you're planning a large meeting, it's a good idea to test your internet connection beforehand to ensure it can handle the number of participants.

For large meetings, it's also a good idea to consider using the "Gallery View" which allows all participants to be displayed on screen at once, but this can be overwhelming with too many people.

Zoom Meeting Limits

Zoom Meeting Limits are quite flexible, but also have some limitations. You can have up to 300 participants in a single meeting session, with no cumulative time limit imposed on reoccurring meetings.

In meetings with more than 49 participants, you can page left and right to see everyone. This is useful when you need to accommodate a large group.

It's worth noting that the Zoom Large Meeting Plan allows subscribers to have the greatest number of meeting participants, with a cap of 1,000 participants.

Attendee Capacity

You can host a Zoom meeting with up to 100 participants, but you can increase this limit with a Large Meeting Add-on, which allows you to host up to 500 or 1,000 participants depending on the license purchased.

If you're planning a large meeting, you can also consider hosting a webinar instead of a meeting, which has no participant limit.
