Teams meeting capacity

Hello Winnie and good morning.

If you have access to Outlook Calendar, you can use the Resources box, to type the name or email address of each person you want to receive a copy of the meeting, but not be listed as an attendee.

If it is just Microsoft Teams, you can copy the link of the meeting and email it to them using Bcc.

You can also, create a Live Event inside Teams and that will not display the attendees name.

I hope that helps.

Hi,

I'm trying to use Teams to create a meeting, with 70 participants, if i put everyone's email to "Add Required Attendees", will the participants see other people's email address? Can i make it bcc? Is that the only way they can receive the Teams link? Can i just copy the link once i've created the meeting and send the link by using bcc through Outlook email?

Best,

Winnie

I've seen news that Microsoft is working to expand capacity from 250 to 1,000.  When is that coming?  I know a ton of organizations, including my own, who are in desperate need of expanding audience size for internal company meetings.  When is this coming?

Hi Doug

I am also a bit confused by the 20 / 250 maximum limits. I work in a college and have recently moved to providing our training via online classrooms. I have a couple of classes where there are more than 20 students who will need to work in a collaborative environment. I have set up separate Teams for each cohort, but need to verify if this means that when the 21st person joins the online session they will only do so in a restricted manner, and would not be able to talk to their class or be seen as one of the participants.

I would be grateful for any advice on this.

Hi Doug,

But the max amount of people in that video conference is 20?

It's a bit confusing with 250 vs 20 participants.
