Teams Webinar participant limit, 300 vs 1000 people

DS 1

Hi,

Could someone please help? The more I did research, the more confusion.
I've Microsoft 365 Business Standard, and now I'm planning to organize a Webinar using MS Teams.

Some articles and documentation said I can have only 300 participants,
while some other said it's up to 1,000 participants.

Expected participants are around 500 people so I need to plan what should I do next.

Thanks.

Can you please verify, if a user with E3 license can currently invite only 300 or 1000 people?

It is very unclear

May I confirm that Microsoft 365 Business Standard should also get 1,000 people?

These new capabilities will be available in Microsoft 365 E3/E5, Microsoft 365 A3/A5, and Microsoft 365 Government G3/G5 plans. Microsoft 365 Business Standard and Microsoft 365 Business Premium plans will include all the features above for up to 300 attendees. And for the rest of 2021, we are offering a promotional period where all Teams users can try the features with their existing subscription. Please visit the Microsoft 365 roadmap and Microsoft Learn for additional feature details and availability.

That's why I feel confusing.

I'm sure the MS guys will comment soon to give you a definitive answer! In the meantime- please read through this support guide as well to ensure you're prepared:

Yes I see what you mean! In the comparisons, both business standard and premium include webinars. I'm not familiar with these licensing plans specifically unfortunately.
