The normal capacity for a Zoom meeting is 300 participants.  For large events, you can use either a Large Meeting option (for either 500 or 1000 participants) or use a Webinar.  Webinars provide additional functionality for large events.  You can see a comparison between Zoom Meeting and Webinar functionality here.

 

Student Groups, SASgov, and LPSgov now have access to Zoom.  Students can contact The Office of Student Affairs (vpul-pennosa@pobox.upenn.edu) to request access for their group and review options for Webinar and Large Meeting add-ons.

SAS Grad Students should contact their Home Department Business Office.

 

SAS Computing has a small number of Large Meeting and Webinar licenses that we can make available for a fee to groups that occasionally (less than 5 per year) host large events. Groups that host more than 5 large events will do better to buy a dedicated account.  Think of it as renting vs buying.  See below for the costs associated with each option:

 

"Rent" for a single event. ~5 business days lead time required

LargeMeeting 500 participants: $119

Webinar 500 participants: $152, with possible additional labor charges for event facilitation

 

Buy a dedicated account with 3 year committment.  ~10 business days lead time required

Please note that if you order an add-on, it is a committment to pay a monthly fee for it through July 2026.

LargeMeeting 500 participants: $613/year

LargeMeeting 1000 participants: $979/year

Webinar 500 participants: $782/year

Webinar 1000 participants: $3,082/year
