Converting a Zoom Webinar to Meeting

Hi everyone, I have a Zoom license that allows me to host up to 100 in a meeting. I just purchased a webinar license. If I were to set up a webinar and then convert it to a meeting, will I be able to host up to 500?

    Hi @mikenceaslorg 

    If you convert a meeting into a webinar, the capacity of the webinar will be determined by the Webinar license you have. Most likely, you have the base webinar license, which is now 500, so that would be your maximum attendee capacity. 

     

    Hope that helps and please make sure to mark the solution as accepted if this information is what you needed.

    Hi,mikenceaslorg
    If you change to a meeting, the meeting license will be applied, so I think it will be up to 100.

    Hi, i'm in a similar boat. I set up a webinar but later realised it doesnt allow breakout rooms so have set up a separate zoom meeting link. I didn't know i could convert the existing webinar so now how can i convert and use the meeting link i have set up?
