Accessible Large Participant Events

Zoom Meeting individual licensed accounts can support 300 concurrent participants within a single meeting, all which have the capability of sharing audio, video and computer displays.  For those events that require a larger participant limit, or that would not benefit from a collaborative web conference format, Zoom provides two specific add-on licenses to accommodate these needs.  Use of the below knowledge base articles will allow users to determine when use of a Zoom Large Participant event license will assist in meeting event outcomes.

These are platform accessibility services that are included for the Zoom Meeting and Webinar platforms.

  • Custom gallery video display views, spotlighting or pinning speaker videos, and chat font changes are managed by the individual licensed account holder.
