Purchasing and assigning the Large Meeting license

A large meeting license allows up to 500, 1000, 3000, or 5000 participants to attend a Zoom meeting, depending on the capacity purchased. After purchasing, admins can assign the Large Meeting add-on to licensed users on the account. Once the license is applied to a user, any meetings they host, including already scheduled meetings, will have the larger capacity applied. They do not have to reschedule or edit existing meetings.

If you have the Large Meeting add-on, review our best practices before hosting a session.
