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.

        Hey @Bort, If I enable live streaming to Facebook, when my meeting reaches the 100 capacity, would the late comers be directed to the live stream?

        Hi @KikiPaddy 

        Unfortunately, it will not direct them to the live stream. I'd suggest informing your attendees of the live stream ahead of time and advising them to go to your Facebook page to find the stream if they cannot join the live meeting.

          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

             

            Hope that helps and let me know if you have any further questions. Otherwise, make sure to mark the solution as accepted if this information is what you needed.
