On April 16, between 2:25 P.M. ET and 4:12 P.M. ET, the domain zoom.us was not available due to a server block by GoDaddy Registry. This block was the result of a communication error between Zoom’s domain registrar, Markmonitor, and GoDaddy Registry, which resulted in GoDaddy Registry mistakenly shutting down zoom.us domain. Zoom, Markmonitor, and GoDaddy worked quickly to identify and remove the block, which restored service to the domain zoom.us. There was no product, security or network failure at Zoom during the outage. GoDaddy and Markmonitor are working together to prevent this from happening again.

Number of PEOPLE or DEVICES

In a Zoom meeting, are participants counted by the number of DEVICES signed in, or by the number of ACTUAL PEOPLE who are actually on camera, and listening, and watching through those devices?

 

We want to join two church congregations for a Zoom meeting, probably using only a handful of DEVICES ... but with over a hundred actual PEOPLE on camera, and listening, and viewing through those devices.

 

So does the 100 participant limit mean I am limited to 100 DEVICES, or that I'm limited to 100 actual PEOPLE who are participating through those devices?

 

Thanks!

Functionally (regardless of Terms of Service, which you can/should comb to be safe), this limit pertains to the number of participant connections, which [in the vast majority of cases, which would seem to include yours] corresponds to number of connected devices 1:1.

For instance, a camera pointed at 100 people, but running into a single computer connected to Zoom would be seen as a single participant on Zoom's back-end.
