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 purchased capacity. Account owners and admins can purchase and assign the Large Meeting add-on to licensed users on their account. Once the license is assigned to a user, any meetings they host, including those already scheduled, will have the increased participant capacity. Hosts do not need to reschedule or edit existing meetings.

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