Zoom on Monday announced a new single-user webinar feature that is capped at 1 million participants. The addition comes less than a month after Vice President Kamala Harris' #WinWithBlackWomen fundraiser crashed after peaking at 44,000 users, and more recently, an X interview between owner Elon Musk and Harris' opponent Donald Trump crashed before it began.
Given the audience sizes for Zoom's new feature (available in sizes of 10,000, 50,000, 100,000, 250,000, and 500,000), the company is offering live support from its events services, which Zoom representatives say will “ensure organizers deliver a professional, engaging experience” and presumably ensure events don't crash under their own weight.
