How many participants can the video sessions hold at one time?

Who is this article for?

This article is for practitioners who hold online sessions with Colib's video conferencing and want to invite more than one person: a couple, a family, a parent, an interpreter or a group class.

In short: a Colib video session can hold up to 250 participants at the same time, and up to 25 of them can have their camera on at the same time. For everyday sessions (individual, couple, family or small group), you will never reach these limits.

The limits of a video session

Every participant joins from their own computer, tablet or phone, in the web browser. There is nothing to install.

How to invite several participants

Each appointment has its own meeting link, and everyone uses the same link:

• Clients of the appointment — every client added to the appointment receives the meeting link in their confirmation and reminder notifications (email and text message).
• Group classes — for a group appointment, all the registered clients join the same session. See How to set up group & class appointments?
• Another person (interpreter, colleague, family member) — open the appointment in the scheduler (www.colib.io/scheduler), copy the Join meeting link next to Virtual meeting, and send it to that person.

During the session, the number of people connected is shown at the top right of the screen, next to the participants icon.

Good to know

• Control who comes in — anyone who has the link can join the session. To let people in one by one, turn on the waiting room. See How does the waiting room work for online meetings?
• Mute a participant — as a practitioner, you can mute or unmute another participant with the microphone button at the top right of their video.
• Add a meeting link to your appointments — see How to automatically add telehealth conference links to appointments?
• All the features of the session — see What features are integrated into the video conferences provided by Colib?
