Enabling the Large Meeting add-on

A large meeting license—depending on the license— allows up to 500 or 1000 participants to attend a Zoom meeting. The owner or the admin of the account can add this feature for Licensed users, and it can be subscribed to on a monthly or annual basis.

Once the license is applied to the user, any meetings they host, including already scheduled meetings, will have the larger capacity applied. There is no need to reschedule or edit existing meetings, as user licenses are checked upon launching the meeting. 

After you have enabled the large meeting add-on, you way want to review our best practices before hosting a session. 

Note: Starting July 17, 2023, certain account owners and admins will notice a dedicated Plans and Billing section within their ADMIN menu.
