How to identify your Zoom licenses and permissions

Account owners and admins can assign licenses and permissions to users, granting them access to functionality or Zoom products based on their licenses or permissions. For example, the Zoom Meetings Basic permission allows users to host meetings up to 40 minutes in duration. Available licenses depend on the account plan type, products, and add-ons purchased.

In the Zoom web portal, admins can view all users’ licenses on their account on the Users page. Users and admins can check which licenses or permissions they personally have access to on their Profile page.

  1. Sign in to the Zoom web portal.
  2. In the top-right corner, click your profile picture or initials, then click Profile.
  3. Under Account, view all the licenses and permissions you have access to. For example, if you’ve been assigned a paid Zoom Workplace license, next to Zoom Meetings, you’ll see the maximum number of participants you can have per meeting that you host.

Note: If you’re an admin, learn how to manage users on your account.
