Google Meet participant limit: how many people can join

A personal Google account can have up to a hundred people in a Google Meet call; on Google Workspace the limit depends on the edition.

What you are seeing

People cannot get into your Google Meet call because it is full, or you are planning a large meeting and need to know the limit.

The likely causes, most common first

Work down the list; most people find theirs in the first two.

1. A personal account holds a hundred

  1. On a free Google account, a meeting holds up to a hundred people. Beyond that, people cannot join.
  2. Every device counts as one place. Where several people sit in the same room, have them join from one laptop or one room screen, and you free places for everybody else.
  3. Ask people who only need to listen whether a recording afterwards would do; it frees places for the people who need to speak.
  4. For a larger audience, host from a Workspace edition with a higher limit, or stream the meeting.

2. Your Workspace edition sets the number

  1. On Google Workspace the limit depends on the edition; Google’s requirements page lists each one.
  2. It is the organiser’s edition that counts, not the guests’.

3. A big group call on a free account also has a time limit

  1. On a free account, a meeting with three or more people also ends at sixty minutes.

Google: “Meetings with 3 or more participants for up to 60 minutes.” — support.google.com/meet/answer/7317473

Other Google Meet problems

Transcript missingA Google Meet transcript is saved to the organiser’s Drive, only starts from a computer or an Android phone, and waits for the host to join on the web.Recording missingGoogle Meet saves recordings to the organiser’s Drive, only records from a computer or an Android phone, and stops by itself after eight hours.Notes or summary missingGoogle’s automatic notes need an eligible plan, a meeting of about fifteen minutes or more in one supported language, and somebody from the host’s organisation to start them.Breakout rooms missingBreakout rooms in Google Meet need an eligible Workspace edition and a host on a computer, and Google never records what happens in them.No sound, or people cannot hear youMost Google Meet sound problems are one of four things: the browser was not allowed the microphone, you are muted somewhere, the wrong speaker is chosen, or you joined in Companion mode.Camera not workingWhen the camera does not work in Google Meet, Google’s own checklist starts with the simple things: the right camera, another app holding it, and permission in the browser and the computer.
