Hi Brian,

The front-end determines the maximum number of users.  For BigBlueButton, we recommend sessions of 50 users (or less).  See

Hi Okulsayfam,

We recommend using BigBlueButton for 50 users (or less).

> i have to say that, 1 person will open camera, 99 people will not open. 99 people will write viw chat.

We recommend doing a test before hand (with 10 users) and extrapolating.  For more information see

Hi, OKS

Did you have any success with 100 people?
I'm going to try that two weeks from now.

Regards,

this is a very old thread @dinul... 
BBB has improved significantly since then and it would certainly work well with under 100 people. Hopefully not all sharing the camera at the same time, although features such as pagination help a lot. Personally I've tested it with over 200 people, but that was a heavily customized BBB setup...
