My company has a Microsoft 365 apps for Business subscription. If we use Teams, what is the maximum number of participants that can join a meeting?

Hi Hugo,

Thank you for reaching out about your Microsoft 365 Apps for Business subscription and Teams meeting capacity.

Microsoft 365 Apps for Business does not include Microsoft Teams as part of the subscription, so there isn’t a fixed meeting participant limit tied to that plan alone.

If your organization has added a Microsoft Teams license (such as Teams Essentials or a Microsoft 365 business plan that includes Teams), the standard meeting participant limit for those business-level plans is up to 300 participants per meeting.

For reference: Learn more about subscriptions for Microsoft Teams Free | Microsoft Support [8ab4-1002-7f1-15ab]

For higher-tier or enterprise-level Teams licenses, meetings can support up to 1,000 interactive participants, with the option for additional attendees in a view-only mode in supported scenarios.

For reference: Limits and specifications for Microsoft Teams - Microsoft Teams | Microsoft Learn

Here are summary for your scenario:

  • Microsoft 365 Apps for Business only: No Teams meeting limit applies (Teams not included by default)
  • With a standard business Teams license: Up to 300 participants
  • With a higher/enterprise Teams license: Up to 1,000 interactive participants (with possible overflow options)

I hope this information helps. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to let me know.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

    For the standard Microsoft Teams business plans (including Teams Essentials, Business Basic, and Business Standard), the maximum number of interactive participants in a meeting is 300. Meetings can last up to 30 hours.
