How many people can meet in a Microsoft Teams video meeting? Is there a limit to internal and external guests?

If guests join on the web does this limit the number of external guests in a meeting?

Thank you, 

Diane

    Can someone tell us what is the maximum number of participants for the new Teams Webinar, please?

    250 for a regular Teams Meeting. Up to 20K for a Live Event.

    I read somewhere 1000 for a Webinar, but it's not clear. Can you please confirm?
    Thanks.

    Hey Hector,

    The New Webinar options follow the meeting rules and limitations i.e

    Scheduled Meetings/Webinars (Outlook/Teams calendar):

    • 1,000 participants
    • 20,000 View/Listen only participants

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/limits-specifications-teams

    See also the introduction text which mentions the same 1,000 limit:

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/blog/2021/05/11/introducing-webinars-in-microsoft-teams-easy-professional-webinars-to-engage-customers/

    For reference Live events cater for higher volume:

    LIVE Events

    • Audience size - 10,000
    • Event duration 4 hours
    • 15 concurrent live events per tenant

    NOTE:
    until June 30 2021, Microsoft have temporarily increased this to:

    *Audience - 20,000*

    50 events per tenant

    *Event duration 16 hours*

    Hope Helps

    Hello

    Some help would be greatly appreciated!

    I have a meeting in August that would I like to host on MS Teams. Can it take 400 participants?

    If so, does it matter if they are internal or external to my organisation?

    I would be hosting from an internal account and sending the link to 400 external email addresses?

    Does this impact the max capacity?

    Thanks

    Michelle

    You are going to be fine with your meeting!

    Microsoft increased the meeting limit from 250 to the new limit of 1000 participants. All 1,000 participants will get the same experience such as chat, ability to show video, mute themselves, see the presentation, etc.

    If you are participant 1,001 to 10,000 however you will still be able to join the meeting but that participant will experience a meeting where they can only see the presentation being shared. They will not be able to interact - so no reactions, no chat capability, and no ability to show their video.

    It's all mentioned here: View-only meeting experience - Microsoft Teams | Microsoft Docs
    and here: What’s New in Microsoft Teams: June 2021 - UC Today
