Limit to number of participants in video call

[JessJohnston]

Dear All,

I would like to know if you can have more than 20 people in a video call or if this has to be a meeting.

I understand you cannot launch a video call from a chat of more than 20 people. But I am unclear if you can add more than 20people to a call one by one.

Our organisation limits who can start a meeting and I need to call 40 people without creating a meeting.

Many thanks,

Jess

@JessJohnston yes, the limit is 20 people in a call started from Chat. You would need a meeting to get to 250 meeting attendees.

Why would they block meetings when you have a need for it ?

@Steven Collier Thanks for your reply. What about a call that is not started from a chat. Ie just started as a call. Does this limit to 20 people?

@JessJohnston yes, it is the same.

@JessJohnston Hello Jessica, obviously Steven has already answered your questions but perhaps this will help you out if in need of additional limits specs.
