Many zoom users over hotel WIFI

[Lobelia]

Hi,

I am considering using the zoom interpretation feature in a hotel event with more than 300 attendees.

The presenter(s), present at the venue, would address the audience in Language 1 through PA which would also be sent off site through Zoom to interpreters somewhere else.

Each attendee would then use the venue's WIFI to join Zoom (audio only) and select their preferred target language. 

Is this possible? Is it usually done? Besides the number of devices that a router can handle (sources mention around 250) and bandwidth (Zoom states 60 - 100 kbps per user for audio only) , are there other considerations I should take into account?

Thank you!

Hi @Lobelia thanks for posting this question.

It depends on what the participants are doing during the meeting/webinar. But it is primarily audio being used and not video it would be: 60-80kbps per user.
