Configuring the maximum number of meeting occupants

By default, the Sametime Meeting Server restricts the number of users in a meeting to 100 users.

About this task

Users who attempt to join a meeting that has reached maximum occupancy see a message indicating that the meeting room is full.
Note: The greater the number of concurrent users accessing the server the greater the resources consumed, particularly CPU resources. Other factors, such as meeting recordings, can influence the total capacity. Do not change this setting without proper sizing information from HCL.

For sizing related questions, contact HCL.

Procedure for Kubernetes
