What's going to happen if more than 100 people are trying to connect ?

I have the "zoom pro version" which is limited to 100 people. 

But I don't want to pay for the extension "Large Meetings". Too expensive. 

 

What's going to happen if more than 100 people are trying to connect ? 

Is zoom going to prevent the next people from connecting ? Is zoom going to stop the meeting ? ...

 

thanks for your help and,

sorry for my english

    Hi @Jonathan_bau 

    When your meeting has reached capacity, any new participants that try to join will be shown a message saying the meeting is at capacity. They will not be able to join, and the current meeting will continue without interruption.

    If we have reached capacity but have someone still in the waiting room, will we be able to admit the person in the waiting room if someone leaves the meeting and thus frees up a seat?

    Hi @Jonathan_bau 

     

    I agree with @Bort .

    They receive a message, But it doesn't disturb you or the meeting.

    Hi @Bort, I scheduled a meeting with a Pro license and added the large meetings add-on after.  Do i need to recreate a new meeting or will it just allow more than 100 participants to join?

    Hi @KonMon 

    As long as you've assigned the Large Meeting add-on to yourself before you start the meeting, you will have the increased capacity. No need to create a new meeting, just to assign the license. This support article has info about how to assign licenses, if you need it: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/115004976063-Assigning-Zoom-licenses
