You can set a limit on the number of participants that are permitted to be in a meeting using the Meeting Server API. (See the API Reference Guide.) You can set:

• A per-tenant participantLimit value, which imposes a limit on the total number of participants that are allowed to be active for that tenant. 
• A "participantLimit" value within a 'callProfile' object; this means that calls (e.g. space instantiations) for whom that ''callProfile'' is in force will have the limit enforced

The callProfiles can be attached at the system, tenant or space level, with the most specific taking effect.

Therefore a call’s participantLimit depends on a number of factors.

If a call's ''participantLimit'' has been reached:

• No new participants can be added to it

However:

• A participant using a Cisco Meeting App can use any combination of chat, use video, audio and show/receive a presentation within the one participant "count"
  Using a tethered endpoint does not change the participant count.
• A participant in a meeting on a SIP endpoint can use video, audio and receive a presentation within the one participant "count"
• A participant on a Lync client can use any combination of chat, use video, audio and send a presentationwithin the one participant "count". (A received presentation is part of the main video stream.)
