MC250956 – Microsoft originally communicated this in MC240169 (Feb ’21). Currently, Teams meetings are limited to 300 users. If someone tries to join a meeting after it reaches capacity, they are unable to do so. With this update, meeting organizers who are assigned an appropriate license will be able to host a Teams meeting that has overflow capacity.
Up to 20,000 view-only attendees may join a meeting from late February through the end of June in order to accommodate heightened remote work scenarios. After July 1, 2021 Microsoft will support only 10,000 view only attendees.
advertisment
Note: This capability will be available to users with the following licenses: Office 365 or Microsoft 365 E3/E5/A3/A5/Business Standard/Business Premium. For the rest of 2021, Microsoft is offering temporary availability to Teams users to try the features with their existing commercial subscription.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID: 65952.
When this will happen
Microsoft has started to roll this out and expect to complete by end of April.
