Limiting the number of participants
You can place a limit on the number of participants that can access a particular Virtual Meeting Room, Virtual Auditorium or scheduled conference at any one time. When such a restriction is in place, when the limit is reached any new participants are presented with a capacity exceeded message.
If you change this setting while a conference is in place, participants who have already joined the conference will not be affected, even if the conference is already over capacity. However, after the change has been replicated to all Conferencing Nodes (typically after approximately one minute), any new participants attempting to join the conference will be rejected if the number of participants has reached or exceeded the new limit.
Infinity Connect users who have joined as presentation and control-only participants count towards the participant limits.
Presentation streams from standards-based endpoints and Skype for Business / Lync clients are not counted separately; such participants are only counted once regardless of whether or not there is a presentation stream in addition to the main video.
If you do not restrict the number of participants, any number of participants can join the service (subject to the available capacity of your Pexip Infinity deployment).
